Wildwood Nature School

Whole-hearted education in the wilds of London

Wildwood Nature School is a non-profit, independent, nature-based primary school for children aged 4-11 years. We offer an alternative to mainstream education with a strong focus on children’s well-being and spending time in nature following the Forest School principles.

Our mission is to create a different kind of school: one where children can learn, play and feel good about who they are, lovingly held by community and nature.

Wildwood Nature School’s ethos is about supporting each child to truly know themselves, be proud of who they are and to have the skills to connect with the people, animals and nature around them. By providing the right environment for children to thrive – caring adults, time in nature, space to roam and play, inspiring learning experiences, freedom to pursue their own interests, personalised and responsive teaching, being a part of the decision-making – we know that children will be able to do what they do most naturally: learn.

Our values:

• Well-being
• Community
• For everybody
• Play
• Empowering our children
• Connection to nature
