The Wells experience is founded on 

the principle that everyone should 

feel that they can be what they are. 

Wells Cathedral School is a 

community where people are 

accepted for simply being what they 

are. For everyone at Wells, there is 

the chance to live in a world where 

being friends with extraordinary 

people is accepted as the norm. 

There is a refreshing sense of mutual 

respect between pupils whatever their 

interests and talents. 

Wells is a school where a wide variety 

of pupils can thrive: there is a place 

here for every sort of child. It can 

be no surprise, therefore, that Wells 

produces well-rounded adults, at ease 

with themselves. 

Be what you are

History of Wells

Wells began as a holy place 

which took its name from the 

springs in what are now the 

grounds of the Bishop’s Palace. 

The city was a Roman 

settlement, but only became 

an important centre under the 

Saxons when King Ine of Wessex 

founded a minster church in 704. 

During the English Civil War, 

Parliamentarian troops used the 

cathedral to stable their horses 

and damaged much of the 

ornate sculpture by using it for 

firing practice. 

Wells was the final location 

of the Bloody Assizes on 

September 23rd 1685. In one 

day over 500 men were tried 

and the majority sentenced to 

death. 

During World War II, Stoberry 

Park in Wells was the location of 

a Prisoner of War camp, housing 

Italian prisoners from the 

Western Desert Campaign, and 

later German prisoners after the 

Battle of Normandy. 

In recent years, this historic 

city has become a major tourist 

attraction. After the City of 

London, Wells is the smallest city 

in England.

The Junior School

28 www.wells-cathedral-school.com

The Junior School is adjacent 

to the Senior School, so while 

you feel safe in your own 

environment, you also feel a part 

of the whole school. As a pupil in 

the Junior School you are a part 

of a small family which is in itself 

part of a larger one comprising 

the Senior School, Sixth Form, 

Music School and Junior School. 

Our belief is that in order to 

function successfully as a family, 

there needs to be a strong 

sense of balance, understanding, 

honesty and happiness within 

each individual member. In 

the Junior School we strive to 

ensure that this ethos becomes 

second nature to you, so when 

you eventually leave us you are a 

more rounded individual, able to 

cope easily with the rather more 

demanding aspects of senior 

school life. 

Whatever your talent you can 

be sure that you will be able 

to develop it as much as you 

wish whether it’s playing an 

instrument, scoring a goal or 

creating a masterpiece. You may 

not consider yourself to be 

particularly skilled at anything, 

but at Wells that doesn’t matter; 

every child is recognised as an 

individual. While talents should 

be nurtured, it is every bit as 

important for you to simply have 

fun and enjoy what you like doing 

most - and, perhaps, get really 

good at it. 

www.wells-cathedral-school.com 

29


Your teachers will help you to 

develop your skills and ensure 

that your interests play an 

important part in your school 

day. In the Junior School we 

regard music, drama, dance, the 

arts and sport as being highly 

important aspects of academic 

life. 

This is reflected in our 

Artsmark Gold, awarded by the 

Arts Council England for our 

creativity and extensive arts 

programme. Wells Cathedral 

School is one of only a handful 

of independent schools to have 

been awarded this for the whole 

school. 

The award also recognises 

our use of visiting artists in 

workshops, our many trips 

to theatres, museums and art 

galleries and our participation in 

national and international arts 

festivals such as the Edinburgh 

Fringe, where we take many of 

our productions. 

Each week Key Stage Two pupils 

receive six hours’ lessons in art, 

dance, drama and music from 

specialist subject teachers. Pupils 

aged 3 to 7 also receive a large 

number of timetabled lessons 

in these subjects with specialist 

teachers. 


31


Class sizes are normally 

between 11 and 18 and there 

are only single-year forms. This 

means that you can get a lot of 

attention from your teachers 

on a one-to-one basis and you 

will only find children of your 

academic age in your class. 

We try to make learning as 

exciting as possible because we 

know that the more fun you 

have in the classroom, the more 

you will understand and this will 

help you to think independently. 

Our broad curriculum covers 

a wide range of subjects taught 

by specialist teachers. From 

Key Stage One onwards 

your timetable will include: 

English, Maths, Science, History, 

Geography, Religious Studies, 

Drama, ICT, Music, Art and DT, 

Games, PSHE, Modern Foreign 

Languages including French, 

German and Mandarin Chinese, 

and PE which includes swimming, 

dance and gymnastics. Quite a 

variety and sure to keep you 

interested at every level! 


33


A strong sporting tradition lies 

at the heart of the Junior School. 

We believe that sport is not 

just about keeping fit and having 

fun; it instils an ethos of team 

building, confidence, leadership, 

and discipline into everyone 

who embraces it. 

We share the sporting facilities 

with the whole school, so you 

will be able to swim in our 

covered swimming pool, play 

hockey on our astroturf pitch, 

dance in our purpose-designed 

studio, play tennis and netball on 

dedicated courts, play rugby and 

football on our pitches, and have 

gym lessons in our sports hall. 

As a pupil in the Junior School, 

you will get the chance to play 

for the school in one of our 

many inter-school fixtures at U8, 

U9, U10 and U11 level. These 

are played in the major sports 

– rugby, hockey and cricket 

for boys; hockey, netball and 

rounders for girls. The school 

arranges events throughout 

the year allowing children 

of all abilities to take part in 

competitive games. 

By Key Stage Two you will be 

enjoying four hours of sport a 

week, all taught by fully qualified 

coaches and PE specialists. 


35


The facilities for nursery and 

early years learning provide an 

enchanting and inspiring start to 

an education. All classes in the 

Early Years Foundation Stage can 

make the most of the extensive 

and attractive school grounds for 

outdoor education and exploring, 

whilst also benefiting from the 

impressive drama hall, specialist 

music facilities and sports hall. 


37


The Junior School offers you the 

chance to explore a wide range 

of activities and educational 

experiences without necessarily 

being channelled into one 

particular area. 

A wide variety of activities at 

lunchtime and after school 

is available. The schedule of 

activities changes regularly. In 

the past we have offered the 

following among many others: 

art and craft, athletics, book 

appreciation, chess, choir, 

computers, cricket, dance, drama, 

football, gardening, Latin, netball, 

orchestra,steel pans, swimming 

and tennis... plenty for everyone. 

Wells Cathedral School is a 

well known and highly regarded 

specialist music school. But 

whether you play an instrument 

or not, you cannot fail to 

experience the truly magical 

influence of Wells’ musical 

heritage whilst benefiting from 

the excellent musical provision 

that the Junior School gives to its 

pupils. 


39

To the west of Wells lie the 

Somerset Levels and Moors, a 

sparsely populated wetland area 

of 250 acres in central Somerset, 

between the Quantock and 

Mendip Hills. This expanse of flat 

land barely rises above sea level. 

Before it was drained, much of 

the land was under a shallow 

brackish sea in winter and was 

marsh land in summer. Drainage 

began with the Romans, and was 

restarted at various times by 

the Anglo-Saxons; in the Middle 

Ages by Glastonbury Abbey; and 

during the Second World War. 

Westhay Moor, located some 

ten miles to the west of Wells is 

one of 80 sites managed by the 

Somerset Wildlife Trust. One of 

the most remarkable aspects 

of Westhay is the annual arrival 

of hundreds of thousands of 

starlings who take refuge in its 

reed beds.

The Senior School


Academic, musical, sporting, 

artistic and personal 

development lies at the heart of 

Wells Cathedral Senior School. 

Wells encourages an 

adventurous and ‘go-getting’ 

environment that inspires 

confident, successful learning 

for life. Leadership is nurtured 

through a rigorous and 

competitive, yet supportive 

and accepting climate 

throughout the school; personal 

achievements are widely 

communicated and celebrated. 

The Senior School provides 

a smooth transition from the 

Junior School. Pupils are slowly 

allowed to develop greater 

independence, and as well as 

being given greater academic, 

creative and sporting challenges, 

you are invited to participate 

in as many clubs, societies, 

trips and social activities that 

you think you can handle. 

While academic success is 

important, Wells prides itself on 

producing alumni that have had 

experiences some could only 

dream of: from touring Hong 

Kong with the brass department, 

to producing a Christmas single 

that has sold worldwide, or even 

climbing to Mount Everest’s 

Base Camp. We can assure you 

that you will get out of Wells as 

much as you put in. 

Wells produces excellent 

examination results, largely due 

to the high standard of teaching 

provision but also due to the 

purposeful dedication of its 

pupils to fulfil their academic 

potential. 


45

Young people value ideals and 

adventure. The creative arts 

continue to be a focal interest 

in the Senior school. The 

curriculum at Wells focuses on 

a freeing of the spirit to allow 

its pupils to engage in creative 

and imaginative thought whether 

in maths or music, science or 

drama, languages or dance. There 

is an emphasis on freedom and 

human growth with no limits set 

on what a person can or should 

achieve. It provides a framework 

in which to meet the rapidly 

changing needs of society: a 

brilliant foundation for life. 

If you love drama you will feel 

very much at home participating 

in one of the school’s excellent 

perfomances. If art is your 

passion then you will be given 

the opportunity to work in 

our large, dedicated art block 

which contains all the materials 

and space you need to let your 

creativity flow. If you are a 

musician, whatever your ability, 

you can take advantage of the 

exeptional opportunities on 

offer. Being a specialist music 

school, the facilities at Wells are 

second to none.

The Lower School (Years 7, 8 

and 9) builds on the support 

and development that have 

been provided at junior level. 

Care is taken to match the 

pace of progress to individual 

ability. As you move through 

the Lower School, you will take 

increasing responsibility for your 

own academic and personal 

development. 

In the Upper School (Years 10 

and 11) you will prepare for 

your GCSE examinations. You 

will be allowed to choose four 

GCSE options in addition to the 

core subjects of Mathematics, 

English Language and Literature, 

Science (Biology, Chemistry and 

Physics) and Religious Studies. 

Wells has developed a 

programme with enrichment and 

acceleration in mind. You will be 

offered different pathways and 

thus be able to personalise your 

learning to follow a curriculum 

at a pace and in a direction 

which suits your needs and plays 

to your strengths. 

The school plays a creative 

and influential part in the 

formation of national policy in 

education and music education. 

Academically it has never been 

afraid to embrace new ideas, 

including teaching Mandarin, 

International GCSE in Maths, 

Extended Project Qualification 

(EPQ) at A Level, and Integrated 

Arts in Years 7-9. 

Recently we introduced our 

Specialist Maths Scheme for 

pupils starting in Year 7 with 

exceptional ability. This allows 

the mathematically gifted to fulfil 

their passion and at the same 

time achieve their maximum 

potential. 


49


Recognising that all pupils need 

a proper balance of recreation 

and physical exercise means 

that as well as sport, drama, and 

music, less conventional outdoor 

pursuits are part of the Lower 

School curriculum. 

Pictured here are Geography 

and Geology pupils enjoying a 

recent field trip to Iceland. In 

recent years we have organised 

a twinning initiative with a music 

academy and a primary school 

in Sierra Leone, where a trip 

is run each year, and we have 

formed charitable links with a 

village in Sri Lanka. But you don’t 

have to get on an aeroplane to 

enjoy our various co-curricular 

opportunities, such as our 

Combined Cadet Force (CCF) 

which allows boys and girls to 

experience a taste of military life 

by learning survival techniques 

and leadership skills. 

Every year all pupils in Year 8 

are invited to attend a weeklong 

trip to nearby Skern Lodge, 

where you will participate in 

outdoor pursuits and team 

building exercises. 

From Year 9 you will be 

encouraged to participate in 

the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award 

scheme. This offers an individual 

challenge and will encourage 

you to undertake exciting, 

constructive, challenging and 

enjoyable activities in your free 

time. 


51


Sport plays a vital role at Wells. 

We compete against other 

schools both at home and away, 

and we also organise inter-house 

events. Our main sports are 

athletics, cricket, cross-country, 

football, hockey, gymnastics, 

netball, rounders, rugby and 

tennis. 

We have excellent facilities: a 

year-round swimming pool, a 

sports hall and fitness suite, a 

dance studio, tennis and netball 

courts and an astroturf pitch. 

Our extensive grounds include 

a 3.5 acre athletics field and 

several sports pitches. 

PE lessons introduce new 

areas of physical activities to 

the pupils, such as badminton, 

basketball and gymnastics. GCSE, 

AS and A2 Physical Education 

are popular courses. 

The Senior School builds on the 

skills learned at junior level with 

a wide range of expert coaching 

by dedicated sports teachers. 


53

The Mendip Hills lie to the 

north of Wells. The central 

and western Mendips were 

designated an Area of 

Outstanding Natural Beauty in 

1972. The main habitat on these 

hills is grassland, with some 

arable agriculture. To the north 

of the Mendip Hills is the Chew 

Valley and to the south are 

broad valleys which drain into 

the Somerset Levels. 

There is an extensive network 

of caves near Wells, including 

Wookey Hole, (pictured) and 

those at Cheddar. The limestone 

hills also feature gorges, 

including Cheddar Gorge and 

Ebbor Gorge, and underground 

rivers. 

There is no end to the 

opportunities that we can offer 

just using some of the natural 

resources on our doorstep: 

outdoor pursuits, such as caving, 

rock climbing, orienteering and 

abseiling can all be organised in 

this awesome landscape. We also 

run a sailing club which is held at 

a local reservoir in Cheddar. 

The Mendip Hills

The Sixth Form


The Sixth Form at Wells is a 

brilliant foundation for life: a 

time of hard work, challenges 

and possibilities. 

You will enjoy a sense of greater 

freedom and independence, 

whereby you will be encouraged 

to become self motivated and 

you will be expected to work 

hard. 

Outside the classroom, Sixth 

Formers are leaders of the 

school community and should 

see themselves as role models 

for younger pupils. Everyone 

in the Sixth Form has the 

opportunity to lead from 

within one of the many student 

committees. 

The social calendar is busy and 

rewarding, kindling a strong 

sense of camaraderie and 

lifelong friendships. Alongside 

theatre trips, parties and pizza 

evenings, students can join in a 

wide variety of activities which 

focus on career development, 

opportunities for leadership, 

teamwork and cultural 

development. 


59

The vast majority of students at 

Wells progress to some form 

of Higher Education. Advice 

is given at the stages when 

important choices are made 

which may affect possibilities 

for further study. We have a fulltime 

specialist Careers / Higher 

Education advisor on site to 

guide you through this crucial 

time of your education. 

Many of our specialist musicians 

continue their musical studies at 

the country’s top music colleges. 

Our Music Faculty staff have 

well-developed relationships 

with the leading colleges and 

conservatoires and will be able 

to help you to choose your next 

path. 

In the summer term of Year 12 

(the Lower Sixth), the school 

organises an open morning for 

parents on the subject of higher 

education, which involves not 

only staff from the school but 

also admissions tutors from 

universities, and local careers 

guidance officers.

61


Wells is at the forefront of Sixth 

Form curriculum development. 

Our approach is innovative and 

different from other schools and 

colleges. 

We have chosen consciously 

to make A Levels the academic 

course of the Sixth Form. We 

believe that together with the 

opportunity to work for the EPQ 

(Extended Project Qualification) 

this provides the best structure 

for both specialisation and 

breadth. 


63


Sporting opportunities are 

continued into the Sixth Form, 

with the chance to take advantage 

of the school’s excellent facilities 

and also to participate in matches. 

By continuing sport into the Sixth 

Form, your leadership as well as 

team-playing skills are tested and 

improved upon, and we expect 

everyone to keep fit! 


65


Wells also provides a full and rich 

programme around and beyond 

academic choices. 

You will be encouraged to commit 

to a range of other activities 

such as music, sport, drama, 

public speaking, Combined Cadet 

Force, Young Enterprise, the Duke 

of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, 

community service, the Model 

United Nations and many others. 

All pupils in Year 12 take the 

International Computer Driving 

Licence and also a course in 

critical thinking. 


67

The countryside around Wells 

is full of interesting landmarks 

and historical associations. 

They include the legendary 

Glastonbury Tor, some nine 

miles from Wells. The Tor 

features the roofless St. Michael’s 

Tower, a grade I listed building 

managed by the National Trust. 

Roman remains suggest early 

settlements, and further 

excavations on the Tor have 

revealed evidence of Dark Age 

occupation. 

The Tor has been associated 

with Arthurian legend, since the 

alleged discovery of King Arthur 

and Queen Guinevere’s labelled 

coffins in 1191. It has been 

suggested that the Tor could be 

one of the locations of the Holy 

Grail due to its proximity to the 

location of the monastery that 

housed the Nanteos Cup.

Chorister Life


A choir of men and boys has 

been singing in the stunning 

setting of Wells Cathedral for 

over 1100 years. In 1994, Wells 

Cathedral became one of the 

first to launch a girls’ choir. 

Today, the Cathedral Choir, 

considered to be one of the 

finest in the world, consists of 

eighteen boy and eighteen girl 

choristers (two separate choirs) 

and twelve men known as Vicars’ 

Choral. 

The Choristers receive 

scholarships to sing in the choir, 

gaining a first-class training in 

singing and choral music, but 

also benefiting from all the usual 

curricular and co-curricular 

activities at school. Should you 

become a Chorister, you will 

find yourself working as part of 

a close-knit team, and you will 

also develop a sense of selfdiscipline 

and self-service. 

The choir sings every day in 

Wells Cathedral during term 

time and at major festivals, and 

has an extensive repertoire from 

all historical periods. Alongside 

Cathedral services, the choir 

performs recitals, national radio 

and television broadcasts and 

regular international tours. 


73

Wells Cathedral is one of the 

most impressive of the English 

Gothic cathedrals, having 

survived eight centuries, with all 

of its associated buildings still 

around it, dominating the city of 

Wells. 

Wells Cathedral lies at the heart 

of the Cathedral School, as it 

has over the last 1100 years of 

its history. The regular exposure 

to one of the most awe-inspiring 

buildings in the world is a 

privilege enjoyed by all. 

The link with the cathedral 

bestows upon the school an 

ethos where work, study and 

spirituality are combined in 

a creative mix that runs in 

harmony with the entire school 

family. Pupils are inspired to 

live with integrity and social 

responsibility, upholding our 

Christian tradition. 

Wells is a school where pupils 

are shown the way to live well 

and happily. At its heart is a 

sense of empowerment and 

inner fulfilment.

Wells Cathedral

The Music Faculty

Music at Wells 


Music has been at the heart of 

Wells since its beginnings as 

a chorister school. Today it is 

the only specialist music school 

to run in parallel to a regular, 

independent school. The music 

community is unique, so that 

whether you are a beginner 

or an expert you can follow 

your own musical passions. 

You will be part of a musical 

and joyful environment which 

allows everyone to explore 

and find their own pathway and 

develop an appreciation and love 

of music. For extraordinarily 

talented musicians the 

ordinariness of Wells is a distinct 

advantage; for students who are 

not musicians, the extraordinary 

musical provision provides 

incredible opportunities. 


79


The Specialist Music Scheme 

provides high quality 

opportunities to participate 

in and experience musical 

excellence. If you have 

discovered that your life 

revolves around music making 

then you should be at Wells. 

It is a course for highly gifted 

young people who wish to 

consider a career in music. As a 

Specialist Musician you will be 

offered a wide range of choices 

and opportunities to help you 

achieve your full potential; you 

will be taught by highly skilled 

music teachers, many of whom 

may be international artists. 

Most Specialists leave Wells to 

study at the main conservatoires 

in the UK or abroad, often gaining 

scholarships at the institution of 

their choice. 

Specialist Excellence 


81

The Well-Rounded Performer 


Specialist Musicians live and 

learn with people who have 

other interests and different 

preoccupations. This helps 

you to maintain a perspective 

and become rounder and 

better balanced without the 

side-effects of ‘hot-housing’ 

sometimes associated with early 

specialisation. This means you 

will be more able to cope with 

the rigours imposed by a highlevel 

musical environment at 

conservatoire. 

www.wellscathedralschool.com www.wells-cathedral-school.com 

83

How we do it 


Wells provides strong musical 

and technical foundations for 

long-term participation in music 

making and a career in the 

profession. The wide repertoire 

and range of musical genres 

helps prepare you for a life in 

which flexibility and adaptability 

will be needed and frequent 

visits from external experts will 

widen your musical perspectives. 


85

Wells pupils are offered 

regular performance and tour 

opportunities in both the UK 

and international locations. 

Wells Cathedral School 

prides itself on a very busy 

and successful concert diary 

with almost 200 annual events. 

Within this there is a Prestige 

Concert Series of the highest 

calibre including symphonic 

and choral programmes, plus 

the opportunity to perform 

alongside internationally 

renowned composers and 

musicians. Many pupils hold 

principal chairs in the National 

Youth Orchestra, National Youth 

Wind Orchestra and many other 

similar groups. 


Exceptional Opportunities 


87

“What I love about Wells Cathedral 

School is its tremendous spirit 

of adventure. It’s a forum where 

young people can engage with 

music on every possible level. The 

ethos of Dorothy Nancekievill and 

her team is fabulously holistic; 

their view being that music should 

never be experienced in a bubble, 

and that it has a huge and vital 

role to play in the community at 

large. Budding young musicians of 

‘whatever sort’ who come to Wells 

can be assured of the broadest, 

most boundary crossing and 

exhilarating journey.” 

- Charles Hazelwood, conductor 

& broadcaster 



89

Cheddar Cheese

Cheddar is the most popular 

cheese in the United Kingdom, 

and the second most popular 

cheese in the United States. 

The cheese comes from the 

village of Cheddar, some eight 

miles west of Wells. Cheddar 

Gorge, on the edge of the village, 

contains a number of caves 

which provide the ideal humidity 

and stable temperature for 

maturing the cheese. 

Records date back as far as 

1170, when Henry II ordered 

4644 kg of the original cheese. 

By the reign of King Charles 

I, the cheese was so popular 

that it had to be pre-ordered 

through the king’s court. It is 

also documented that Captain 

Scott took with him nearly 

1600kg of Cheddar cheese on 

his famous expedition to the 

Antarctic in 1901.

Boarding Life


In the Junior School and Lower 

School, boarders are housed 

close to the main school campus 

with resident house parents, 

supported by an assistant, a team 

of house tutors and a matron. 

In the Senior School, life centres 

on the mediaeval and eighteenth 

century buildings that line 

The Liberty. Each house is the 

focal point for group identity, 

friendship and relaxation, with 

healthy rivalries between houses 

in sport, drama, public speaking 

and other academic achievement. 

Flexi-boarding is also available, 

from one night through to 

weekly or even weekend 

boarding. Many pupils and 

parents find this to be an 

extremely useful option, as it 

allows pupils the opportunity 

to participate in after-school 

clubs as well as to keep up with 

homework while avoiding a late 

journey home. 


95


All rooms have ICT facilities 

with wireless internet access. 

You can bring your own PC and 

other equipment, and all houses 

have common rooms with games 

and equipment for the boarders 

to use. There are also large 

gardens for you to relax in and 

the kitchens are stocked with 

your favourite foods. 


97


The school chefs provide three 

cooked meals a day, including 

a vegetarian option and salad 

bar in a modern, airy dining 

hall. Older pupils may also use 

the separate snack bar which 

provides healthy snack options, 

when schedules become hectic. 

The dining hall is a place for 

pupils to meet and enjoy healthy 

fresh food and catch up with 

friends. You will have access to 

your houses throughout the 

day and you can make toast 

and sandwiches in the house 

kitchens. 


99

Being Green


At Wells, we recognise that 

taking responsibility for our 

impact on the environment is an 

important commitment to the 

future sustainability of the world 

in which we live. 

Opportunities to become 

involved in environmental 

initiatives within and beyond 

the school exist throughout the 

Junior and Senior Schools and 

curriculum time is specifically 

devoted to practical green 

activities in Years 7 and 8. 

Students and staff work closely 

together in the planning and 

delivery of measures designed to 

make Wells a more sustainable 

place. 

As part of our commitment to 

the local community we have 

forged links with other schools 

in order to allow students to 

share ideas and colleagues to 

share good practice. 


103

Cider is a fermented alcoholic 

beverage made from apple juice. 

It may be made from any variety 

of eating apple, but certain 

cultivars grown solely for use in 

cider are known as cider apples, 

which are grown in South West 

England. 

Cider apples are richer in 

tannins and sharper in flavour. 

There are many cider farms in 

the South West, and typically 

they produce non-carbonated, 

cloudy-orange cider, which is 

produced on a small scale and 

sold locally.
