Summary

Wells-next-the-Sea Primary and Nursery School, part of the Wensum Trust, serves a mixed-gender population of 202 pupils, with a capacity for 240. The school is committed to fostering a supportive and stimulating environment where children can thrive academically and socially. Its vision, "Anchored in the community, setting sail for success," reflects its dedication to local engagement and holistic education.

The curriculum is designed around six core values: aspiration, pride, respect, independence, resilience, and teamwork. Each half-term focuses on a specific value, culminating in weekly 'value awards' during Friday assemblies. The school also integrates British values, such as democracy and mutual respect, into its teaching, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.

Community involvement is a key aspect of the school's ethos. Regular partnerships with local organisations, such as St Nicholas' Church and Holkham Estate, provide students with opportunities for outdoor learning and cultural experiences. This approach not only enriches the curriculum but also helps children develop a strong sense of identity and belonging within their community.
