Wimbledon Park Montessori School

WPMS - The School

WPMS aims to provide an environment in which children are allowed to grow and develop at their own pace.  The ideals of the school follow the principles of the Montessori philosophy, providing child-centred, nursery education that allows each child to discover their own self-esteem, confidence and independence – a setting offering freedom, within a safe, structured environment.

We provide high quality Montessori Nursery Education for children between the ages of two to five years old, within purpose built premises in the Grid area of Southfields.  The School was set up in 1991, moving to its current location in 1994.  The School Principal, Clare Collins, has been teaching at WPMS since 1992, and purchased the School in 2000.

Ofsted Inspection

WPMS was last inspected by Ofsted in February 2004, and received an excellent report.  The main failing was identified as a lack of extended outside facilities.  This has now been rectified by redesigning the whole outside play area, complete with the installation of a new soft tarmac surface. We are not due for our next inspection until February 2008.  Please follow the link above to the Ofsted report in its entirety.
