Welcome Message from our Headteacher

Welcome to Wellington Place Primary School, a new and exciting primary school that is set to be a bright and happy learning hub at the heart of the Wellington Place community. As the Headteacher, I am thrilled to be leading this school on it’s journey to provide every child with an exceptional education and high aspirations for their future.

At Wellington Place Primary School, our vision is to “Learn, Lead, Achieve, Succeed”. This vision will enable our children to make academic progress, engage in a varied and creative curriculum, and develop into confident and well-rounded individuals. Our three core values – Trust, Kindness, and Fairness – are the foundation upon which we build our school community.

At Wellington Place Primary School, we strive to be the happiest school in Leicestershire. We want our children to clearly love learning and come bounding through the school gates every morning, ready for new and exciting challenges, alongside our passionate and dedicated teaching team.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school and sharing in the awe and wonder that blossoms from working alongside our children. I am confident that you will see our vision and values in action, and that you will be inspired by the bright future we are building for our school community.

The Wellington Way

At the heart of our school is “The Wellington Way” – a set of guiding principles that shape our school culture and the way we interact with one another:
  • It’s good to be safe.
  • It’s good to be kind.
  • It’s good to be fair.

These principles are woven into every aspect of school life, from our curriculum to our behaviour policies, and they are modelled by all members of our school community. By embracing “The Wellington Way,” we ensure that our children develop into confident, caring, and responsible individuals who are well-prepared for the future.

I am honoured to be the Headteacher of Wellington Place Primary School and a Trust Leader in Discovery Trust. 
Together, we will Learn, Lead, Achieve, and Succeed, guided by our core values of Trust, Kindness, and Fairness. I warmly invite you to visit us and see for yourself the incredible learning experience we are creating at Wellington Place Primary School.
 
Smiling with pride,
Mrs Cressida Knox
