Welcome to Akeley Wood School

Akeley Wood School is a vibrant, co-educational day school for children aged 1 to 18, set across three beautiful campuses in Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire.

We pride ourselves on nurturing individuality, encouraging every child to explore their passions and providing an inspiring education that balances academic excellence with exceptional opportunities beyond the classroom.

Be You. Brilliantly.

At Akeley Wood School, our mission is to provide an inspiring, inclusive education that nurtures individuality while fostering academic and personal excellence.

Guided by our core values of Kindness, Respect, Charity and Community, and underpinned by our Learner Habits, we help students become independent thinkers, resilient problem-solvers and compassionate leaders.

Through our ethos, 'Be You. Brilliantly.' we celebrate each childโ€™s unique potential, empowering them to grow confidently and thrive in all areas of life.

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."

Location and Facilities

Explore our three idyllic campuses.

Akeley Wood School exemplifies the advantages of small school settings across its three beautiful campuses.

Each site is designed to meet the developmental needs of students at different stages, from early curiosity to senior academic readiness and sixth form independence.

This thoughtful design and our commitment to personalised learning ensure that students at Akeley Wood thrive, both academically and socially, in a nurturing and supportive environment.

We have only been at Akeley since September and we are so impressed with all aspects of the school. We have had such a positive experience as a family and our daughter settled very quickly because of the Akeley staff who go above and beyond to support students and proactively engage with parents, creating a nurturing and welcoming community.
