Welcome
Akeley Wood School is an independent co-educational day school for 700 children aged 12 months to 18 years. It is housed across three beautiful campuses in North Buck/South Northants. Wicken Park is for our Nursery to Year 6 students, Akeley Wood House is for our Senior School age children, 11-16 and our new dedicated Sixth Form, campus AW6 opened at our Tile House Mansion building this September.
The School’s primary aim is that pupils should develop their individual talents and personal qualities in whatever direction they may lie, although we do place a particular emphasis on the best possible academic achievement. Most importantly, we hope that pupils will genuinely enjoy and value their time here and will take with them not only the best possible qualifications, but also a sense of purpose, a belief in themselves, firm friendships and a caring attitude towards those around them.
Akeley Wood has a long tradition, but a direction that looks to the future, preparing young people for life in the twenty-first century. It offers a friendly and purposeful environment, with small classes and enthusiastic teaching, where good habits of work and independence of mind can flourish. It is a school without pretension, but with a happy and civilized atmosphere and a demonstrable record of success.
In May 2015, Akeley Wood Senior School obtained an ‘Outstanding’ Schools Inspection Report across the board:
"The quality of the curriculum is outstanding. Coupled with excellent teaching, tight assessment procedures and critical use of data, it helps pupils of all abilities to make excellent progress from their relative starting points."
