An adventure for today
An education for tomorrow
School, education, childhood is not just a journey to an imagined and hoped for future. It is an adventure your child is living right now.
It happens so fast, it’s over so quickly, it matters so much. That’s why it’s our job as educators to make school, education, childhood, an inspiring, enriching and rewarding experience - right when it is actually happening. Not just a set of key stages to grind through to a hoped for end.
At Akeley Wood School, we help your child discover their talents and interests. Help them grow their character. Develop courage and responsibility. And discover their place in the world.
In an inspiring, nurturing, open and inquisitive environment...
...with the very best facilities, diverse curriculum and supportive teachers. We set your child up to achieve their very best, both personally and academically. To go on out there into the wider world as an interested and interesting person. With the skills, knowledge and results they need to fulfil their dreams. Drawing on a childhood full of joy, curiosity and adventure.
Because a wondrous childhood makes for a wonderful life.
We believe your child’s today matters as much as their tomorrow. So at Akeley Wood we make education an adventure. Something remarkable, memorable and valuable forever.
We shape the interested and interesting people the world needs. Universities, employers - society as a whole – needs curious, independent thinkers, full of courage and responsibility. Our aim is to shape these people.

Meet our Executive Head Teacher
"Akeley Wood is a nurturing and exciting school where whatever your age, from our youngest ladybirds at 12 months to our Y13 students taking their A level exams and heading off to their next adventure, you can 'Be You. Brilliantly'.
Our education experience encourages our students to aspire to be the very best version of themselves, with the courage and integrity alongside the responsibility, resilience and academic profile to be successful not only at our school but in whatever next steps in their education or work adventure they want to take when they leave us.
Akeley Wood is a wonderful school to work in and I feel privileged to lead such a fantastic school, dedicated staff team and amazing students."
