Where childhood comes first

A tiny independent primary school where children spend half their week in nature, learn through curiosity, grow through play and become part of a close-knit community.

What makes Wildwood different

Stress-free

No rewards, no punishments, no undue pressure – just connection, belonging and emotional safety

Forest School

Nature is our classroom for a whole day each week, and half of every other day

Play

Lots of play, every day for all children - older and younger - together

Small enough to know every child

With just 20 children, 7 teachers and close partnerships with families, every child is truly known

Learning that lasts

A rich curriculum brought to life through meaningful experiences

Empowered children

From being in charge on Fridays to choosing the termly topic, children play a leading role in shaping Wildwood

Why we do what we do

Wildwood was founded by three experienced teachers who wanted to create the kind of school they wished existed. Everything we do is rooted in years of classroom experience and the simple belief that children thrive when they feel safe, known and inspired.
