Our broad curriculum is enhanced by a varied programme of additional activities, visits and residential trips. All pupils participate in wide range of competitive individual and team sports, and the creative arts are central to life at Wellesley through the choir, individual and group instrumental performances, major theatrical productions and creative art classes.

Our PSHE programme is designed to help our pupils to establish and build relationships with each other as well as encouraging regular self-reflection, to prepare them for the responsibility and challenges of adult life. This work is further reinforced by pupil-led assemblies and our tutorial programme.

Pupil well-being is paramount. We have a team of trained nurses on hand, and the children have access to a school counselor should they need any emotional support.
