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.

- Introducing Leanne Brydon -
“It is a genuine privilege to introduce myself as Headteacher of Akeley Wood Junior School. We have had a fantastic start to the new academic year, and, in my first few weeks, I have already discovered what a unique and very special school community this is.
I bring over 26 years of experience in education, including more than 12 years as a Headteacher and experience as an Executive Headteacher. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about creating schools where children are known and valued as individuals, where they feel a strong sense of belonging and where they are given every opportunity to flourish.
I believe passionately in developing the whole child. Academic achievement is important, but an exceptional education should offer so much more. We want our children to become confident, curious, resilient and compassionate young people who recognise their own strengths and celebrate the qualities that make them unique. Every child has different talents, interests and aspirations, and our role is to recognise that individuality and provide the experiences that enable each child to thrive.
I hope that when you visit our school you will experience what I have already begun to see: a school where relationships matter, childhood is valued and every child is encouraged to be proudly and confidently themselves.”
