Wells is a co-educational boarding and day school for 2–18 year olds, providing an all-round education alongside world-class Music, Maths, Football and Chorister training.
Our vision is to inspire every pupil to nurture their talents in a vibrant, creative, spiritual and stimulating environment, enabling them to become responsible global citizens.
We are delighted to welcome James Davies as our new Headmaster from September 2026. His commitment to academic excellence, pastoral care and holistic education aligns closely with the values of Wells.
Our ISI inspection recognised a Significant Strength in our exceptional music provision and its positive impact on all pupils’ intellectual, spiritual, personal and social development.
The School provides an encouraging and ambitious education based on our values of Creativity, Aspiration, Responsibility and Endeavour (CARE).
Our motto, Esto Quod Es – ‘Be what you are’ – reflects our belief in every pupil’s individuality and our commitment to helping them discover who they are and enjoy a lifetime of discovery.
Come and visit us at our Open Morning on Saturday 19 September 2026, 10am–1pm. Meet our new Headmaster, staff and pupils and discover what makes Wells special.
