Weston All Saints Church of England Primary School, known as WASPS, is a large school for 4-11 year olds, set in the village of Weston on the edge of Bath. Our school is a beautiful location in its own right; the school buildings and perfectly landscaped learning and play areas complement the natural hill and vale, in which the school is nestled. The site is split into three key learnings zones – a wonderful, early years’ centre (little WASPS) and Middle and Upper WASPS for the older pupils. In September 2018, we joined The Partnership Trust, which is a thriving multi-academy Trust.
Our school has a committed staff with a wide variety of experience and expertise and is supported by a supportive PTA and Governing Body. We value our strong links with Weston All Saints Church and the Christian foundation of the school is reflected in all aspects of school life.
It is our belief that every child is creative in some way or another, and as primary school teachers we have a delightful role in nurturing that creativity by offering as many opportunities as possible for our children to explore and be curious. At WASPS we do this through our wide-ranging and deeply engaging curriculum, as well as the huge variety of activities on offer beyond the curriculum and through after school clubs.
Central to almost everything we do are the expressive and creative arts. Teachers and tutors selected to work at WASPS are of the highest calibre, in terms of their teaching ability, but we also have the expectation that they will bring a particular expertise to further enhance our team.
