We’re incredibly proud to have been recognised again with National School Attendance Awards, including being in the top 10% of all schools in England for attendance during the summer term. A huge well done to our students, families and staff for this fantastic achievement!

This will be fantastic. A principal who talks the talk and walks the walk! 👇🏻 @researchED1
When schools focus on the behaviour, habits and expectations of adults, improvement is often faster and more sustained. I’m excited to speak at @researchED1 about what alignment means in schools and why it matters for lasting improvement! #rED26 @tombennett71 @hgaldinoshea

Absolute delight to be back in the building with our fantastic Wells community of colleagues and students this week but I must say I’m ready for a lie in already! 😴 4 days in 🤦🏼‍♀️
A huge well done to all of our students for a fantastic first week of term! A special well done to our new Year 7s who have settled in brilliantly and made a fantastic first impression, demonstrating our core values of integrity, resilience and ambition!

Attendance…who’s involved? Everyone should be! It’s not a one person job. The attendance team is everyone! Communication. Collaboration. Listening. Support. Our 🔑 @TheWellsAcademy is noticing, knowing and belonging. Get in early. Remove barriers. Work together!
