Wellesbourne is a friendly, caring school where everyone is welcomed into the school community. Pupils demonstrate the school values of service, kindness and resilience in the way they conduct themselves and interact with each other. There is a culture of more than respect; it is one of genuinely caring for each other. There are only three school rules and these are well-understood by all pupils. This means that pupils’ behaviour is usually excellent and, if they do make the wrong choice, pupils are able to independently reflect on how to get it right next time. There are equally high expectations of pupils’ learning. Pupils enjoy learning and doing their best in lessons. They enjoy reading, especially to Cooper, the therapy dog. They achieve well during their time at the school. Pupils are excited by the new ‘OPAL’ activities at lunchtimes. Most pupils attend the varied clubs on offer after school. Many are in the singing group which performed at a national arena in Birmingham. Pupils like the different ways their learning is enriched through trips and visitors to the school. These have included virtual reality workshops and video calls with British and German ‘soldiers’ from World War Two.
