Welcome to Wells
We’re really excited that your child will soon be joining us as a pupil at Wells Cathedral School. It’s always an exciting time when new people join the Wells family and bring with them so many wonderful and unique talents and interests.
New beginnings at any point in life provide a wonderful opportunity to look forward with anticipation and optimism. There will be many things your child is already doing which they will be able to continue with at Wells. But also - and perhaps most importantly - there will be so many new opportunities that will now be opening up for them - new friends, new teachers, new subjects, new activities and new experiences. My best advice is that they seize every opportunity available to them and make sure they make the very most of every moment here at Wells because you’ll be surprised how quickly time will pass!
But we’re also aware that new beginnings can be unsettling. No doubt you and your child are feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness - and that’s absolutely natural. But I hope that you will all quickly find that any nervousness or uncertainty is a thing of the past as your child gets into a routine here at the School and gets to know all the wonderful people who make up our community. And please always remember that if, at any point, you or they have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to speak to any member of staff - we’ve all had new beginnings at some point and know what it’s like so we’re more than happy to help and reassure you at any time just ask!
I hope that all the useful information provided here helps settle any uncertainties or queries you might have about how daily life at Wells works. I totally appreciate that there is a lot to take in, and please don’t worry if you don’t remember it all straightaway. But equally, I hope this information booklet will prove to be a helpful resource as you prepare to join us, and as a reference once your time with us begins. And if you have any questions having read this document, or if we haven’t covered anything here which is of interest to you, please don’t hesitate to be in touch with our Admissions Department who will be delighted to assist. Of course, the same principle applies throughout your child’s time at Wells Cathedral School with your child’s Tutor generally being your first point of contact once he or she starts. We are always happy to have a conversation; we are here to help - in whatever way we can.
All of us here are really looking forward to ‘officially’ welcoming you to Wells at the start of next Term, and to the start of what I hope will be an exciting and rewarding partnership.
