Pre-Prep

Things to note
Music
Music plays an important part in the life of the school and more than a third of Wellow House pupils enjoy individual lessons on string, woodwind, brass or percussion instruments, guitar or singing.Regular concerts at school and in the local church give pupils the stage on which to demonstrate their developing talents.
Arts
With a broad curriculum that includes Art, Design Technology (ADT), and Drama, all Wellow House pupils have ample opportunity to develop their creative talents. The well-equipped and spacious art studio has inspired many budding young artists and has facilities for such activities as painting, drawing and sculpting and even has its own kiln.Many theatrical productions take place at Wellow which are a highlight of the year for the whole school community.
Sport
They firmly believe that children benefit hugely from taking part in physical activity each and every school day. The benefit is not purely physical – though the importance of daily exercise can never be understated! Wellow pupils learn a great deal through sport – it provides a vital balance between mental and physical exercise, it encourages children to shine in different arenas and it helps them to develop team spirit.
