Wells Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 October 2024

Pupils are very proud of their school. The value of 'kindness' is interwoven across all aspects of school life. This makes this school a happy place to learn. Pupils enjoy school because teachers make lessons exciting. They talk enthusiastically about their learning, such as how you can combine two chemicals together to produce carbon dioxide which inflates a balloon in science. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable, both in and outside the classroom. They are incredibly polite to their classmates, staff and visitors. This starts from the early years where children learn the importance of working together and following routines. Nurturing relationships exist between staff and pupils. Pupils speak positively about how staff listen and help them if they have a concern. The school has the highest expectations for pupils' achievement. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard and achieve exceptionally well, especially in English and mathematics. Pupils understand the importance of treating everyone equally. They take inspiration from historical figures such as Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. In Year 6, all pupils are given a role of responsibility. Pupils are proud to become school councillors and eco-councillors. They understand how these roles help them to be respectful and resilient.
