We are a family-orientated co-educational boarding and day school for 2 – 18 year olds which provides an all-round education alongside world-class Specialist Music and Chorister training for those with particular talents. Our aim is to inspire every individual pupil to nurture their talents in a vibrant, creative, spiritual and stimulating environment to become a responsible global citizen.

We’re located in the heart of Wells, the smallest city in England with a population of only 10,000. It is a beautiful city to live in; our children enjoy fresh air, green fields and relative safety with few external distractions. Major air, rail and road links are all within easy reach. We are:

  • 2 hours from London Heathrow
  • 28 minutes from Bristol Airport
  • 40 minutes from Bath Spa

Our emphasis on pastoral care prevails throughout the school, and our ethos Esto Quod Es ‘Be what you are’ encourages our pupils to build on their natural talents and discover new ones. We challenge our pupils to engage in a range of co-curricular and sporting endeavor and aspire to become their best possible selves. We encourage pupils to set themselves high expectations and goals.
