ancton Wood is a small, independent and family-orientated co-educational day school in the heart of Cambridge, for pupils aged 9 months to 16 years. It believes a happy child is a learning child.

They understand what motivates them, what pace they
work at, and which approach suits their talents and personality. This is key to a philosophy focused on providing a tailored educational journey. It facilitates the early identification of strengths to be nurtured and challenges to be overcome with individual support.

Clever timetabling allows for an enrichment programme to be offered as part of the school day. The breadth and diversity of the programme gives students access to a whole host of new experiences, helping them develop a range of interests and skills, and build confidence to support them in the classroom and beyond.
