Welcome to Akeley Wood

Although we are very much one school for boys and girls aged from eighteen months to eighteen, our three separate sites - The Senior School (11 - 18), the Lower School (9 - 10) and the Junior School (18 months - 9) - allow us both to cater for the particular needs of each age group and to retain our very special family atmosphere.

Akeley Wood is a happy and caring school with an unpretentious approach. There is a strong emphasis on good manners, a friendly discipline, and looking after others. We strive for high academic standards and the results achieved in public examinations are impressive. However, we are also concerned with education in a broader sense, and Art, Music, Drama and Sport are all important to us. In short, we play to the strengths of each individual pupil.

I hope this site answers many of your questions about Akeley Wood - but it cannot properly convey the feel of the school, which immediately strikes the visitor. Do please telephone the Registrar (01280 812000) to book an appointment to see us. We would be delighted to meet you and to show you round.
