Learning for Life

Our vision is for Wellgate to be a community of learners where our Staff, Governors, Parents and Carers work actively together to create and foster a stimulating and motivating learning environment in which everyone feels happy, safe and valued. 

We aim to be an outstanding school, delivering high quality teaching and learning. We strive to offer exciting and challenging opportunities for all our children to become lifelong independent learners who experience joy and success in working hard to fulfil their potential.
