Wildwood Nature School is a charitable, independent, nature-based primary school for children aged 4-11 years in North London. 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.
We opened our doors in September 2023 with 16 children, aged 4-7 years. We’re growing slowly each year to reach a maximum of 28 children total. The children spend their days playing and working together in mixed age groups, with at least half of their time outdoors in nature. We have 4-6 teachers working with them each day, as high adult:child ratios ensure we can deliver on our values and ethos.
Our values
- Well-being 
- Community 
- Everybody 
- Play 
- Empowerment 
- Nature 
Learning at Wildwood Nature School
At Wildwood Nature School, learning looks different. We believe 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. Whether exploring the woods, crafting, experimenting, or enjoying quiet reflection, every activity builds real-life skills alongside academic knowledge.
