About Us


Welcome to Wellesley Primary School.

Wellesley is a small primary school with approximately 210 children on roll. We occupy an extensive site on the edge of a large housing estate in the south of Yate. Wellesley Primary School offers an open, friendly environment where parents, staff and governors work together to give children every opportunity to be confident and happy learners.
At Wellesley we aim to:
Value the importance of working with each other, our parents and the wider community.
Develop happy, motivated life long learners equipped for the future.
Nurture, caring and respectful individuals.
Develop thoughtful and environmentally conscious citizens.
Strive to reach our full potential and take pride in our achievements.
Children join us from a number of preschools in the local area. Most children move on to one of three secondary schools: Brimsham Green, Chipping Sodbury and King Edmund's.
 

We actively encourage close links with parents to ensure that they are well informed about their child's progress in school. Many parents are actively involved during the school day hearing children read or supporting teachers with activities such as art and design technology.
Parents also support the school by joining the Friends of Wellesley School. This is an active team of parents committed to raising funds to support school projects.
 
The school also has a very enthusiastic team of governors who provide encouragement and support to the headteacher and staff in the day to day running of the school.
