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.

Learning at Wildwood
Learning looks different here. Children need an education for the future — one that values creativity as much as literacy. Our skills-based, bespoke curriculum nurtures creativity, resilience, collaboration, and curiosity, helping children thrive in a changing world.
