Introduction
Wells Cathedral School was founded in AD 909 and is considered one of the oldest continuously operating schools in the world. Based in Somerset, it is also among the first independent schools nationally to become co-educational. [1]
In line with high standards, Wells successfully combines its relevant academic provision with artistic opportunities, including music, drama and dance. In Year 7, all pupils study French and benefit from a focused PSHE offering, the latter helping them mature into responsible citizens of the modern world.
The wealth of club activities further supports pupils’ non-academic development, engaging them in everything from chess, CCF and fencing to photography, swimming and athletics. Wells also boasts an abundant outdoor education programme, mainly delivered through Duke of Edinburgh Award opportunities which include rock climbing, hill walking, bushcraft and archery. [2]
True to the motto Esto Quod Es (Be What You Are), the school helps children discover both their niche and purpose, building on their foundation of knowledge to secure their future successes. Staff use a flexible approach to meet individual needs and, by customising their provision, reinforce the curricular and co-curricular excellence Wells is known for.
