Wandsworth Preparatory School is a new, non-selective, co-educational day school located in Earlsfield, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The school was registered in July 2012 to provide education for up to 150 pupils aged from four to 11 years. It operates from a large building known as The Old Library. It uses alternative provision for sports, and for its Forest School which takes advantage of the learning opportunities provided by the natural woodland environment of Wimbledon Common. The proprietorial body is Wandsworth Preparatory School Ltd, which consists of two trustees. The school is part of the Bellevue Education group of schools. The school opened in September 2012 with one Reception class. There are currently 14 children, all of Reception age. None has a statement of special educational needs. There are no disabled children. There are two children who speak English as an additional language, one of whom joined the school with no English. The school aims to ‘provide pupils with a nurturing, caring and warm environment where the unique talents of pupils are explored and developed’. Its principal education philosophy is that ‘education should not simply be about examination results, reading, writing and arithmetic. It is about sparking curiosity and instilling a lifelong love of learning; having the courage to take risks, the confidence to ask questions and the desire to know not just ‘what’, but ‘how’ and ‘why’’. This is the school’s first inspection.
