From the Wellesley Park Primary School
At Wellesley Park Primary School, we think that success depends on people being happy. Our children work within a happy and caring environment where their individual needs are met and talents nurtured. Our aim is that all of our children enjoy success at primary school, so we set high expectations and provide support to ensure they receive the best education. We are happy that OFSTED acknowledged the effort and commitment of our staff team. If you click here, you may read the entire report. The inspection team, and all visitors to our school, noticed that pupils' self-confidence is nurtured as a priority from the early years. Interactions and the relationships established between staff and pupils consistently reinforce this approach across the academy. Pupils are encouraged to 'have a go' and become active in their own learning. If you came to visit Wellesley Park Primary School, we would be thrilled. Please get in touch with the school administration if you have any questions.
