Welton Primary is a semi rural school providing an education for children from the ages of four to eleven. We also have Bumbles Day Care on site, which welcomes children from the age of two years, an after-school club for school age children and a breakfast club. We have also just launched an exciting holiday club for all children - not just those who attend Welton! The school also provides a large selection of clubs for pupils and an active PTA organise a fabulous range of events throughout the year.

 

The school was opened in 1899 and has a proud history of serving the communities of Welton, Midsomer Norton and the surrounding area. Our building has been extensively renovated over the last ten years. We now have seven classrooms, each one having an Interactive Whiteboard, a large hall with multimedia system, staffroom, library and a completely re-furbished ICT suite. Outside, we have a large playing field, a playground where our children play ball games and another playground where they use “Huff & Puff” equipment. We also have a timber trail. We have been awarded the ‘Healthy Schools Plus’ standard, the Inclusion Quality Mark, the Basic Skills ‘Quality Mark’, the Activemark for sports, the Eco Schools Bronze Award and were thrilled to be awarded a Silver Gilt as part of the Bath in Bloom competition in 2011. Since the beginning of the 2011-2012 academic year all the children have completed the 'Massage in Schools' programme and we are about to begin the 'Learning to Lead' initiative. You can see that we really pride ourselves on the quality of provision here at Welton! We would love to show you our school - please feel free to make an appointment and we will gladly show you around - 01761 413131.

The school is situated on the main road between Radstock and Midsomer Norton and backs onto open fields and the Wellow Brook. Access to the school is via Radstock Road entrance or the footpath from Rock Road and Welton Vale. The school is part of the ‘Safer Routes to School’ project and as such encourages children to walk or cycle to school (once they have passed their Cycling Proficiency test).

The atmosphere is that of a ‘village’ school providing a high quality of education within a caring atmosphere.
