Inside our

The School-in-the-Woods is a place where curiosity is honoured, imagination is ignited and every child’s potential is nurtured with care, intention and joy.
Head’s welcome
Our School-in-the-Woods is a place of wonder
At St Cyprian’s Pre-Preparatory School, childhood is honoured as a time of wonder, possibility and joyful discovery. We do not rush childhood. We protect it and we treasure it.
Nestled within our beautiful, wooded surroundings, our School-in-the-Woods offers more than an education. It is a place where imagination runs freely, curiosity is celebrated and learning feels like an adventure.
Here, children climb, build, question, explore and create – guided by skilled teachers who understand that play is powerful and inquiry drives deep understanding. Children ask bold questions, build big ideas and solve real problems.
Through a carefully guided, inquiry-based approach, children discover the world with confidence and courage – laying foundations not only for school, but for life.
This is where imagination takes root.
Where confidence grows.
Where a lifelong love of learning begins.

Academic approach
We believe that childhood is a time of wonder, discovery and limitless possibility.
Our inquiry and play-based approach offers fresh and vibrant learning opportunities every day. Our holistic and integrated approach ensures that emergent literacy and mathematical skills are woven naturally into both classroom and outdoor experiences. Our outdoor spaces are an extension of the classroom, offering opportunities for exploration, risk-taking, collaboration and physical development.
