Venue Bio
Wells Cathedral School is 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. Founded in AD 909, Wells is among one of the oldest schools in Europe with stunning medieval halls, beautiful Georgian boarding houses and a state-of-the-art 21st century concert hall. Located in the heart of the medieval, cathedral city of Wells and surrounded by wonderful countryside, pupils can enjoy the fresh air, green fields, open spaces and freedom in a safe environment.
We believe sport is an integral part of school life and encourage pupils of all abilities to take part. We offer over 15 sport options and have over 40 acres of gardens, grounds and sports facilities, including what is widely acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the south west.
The countryside around Wells is full of beautiful walks and interesting historical landmarks, including the legendary Glastonbury Tor, Glastonbury Abbey, Cheddar Gorge and the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Close to Wells is the stunning city of Bath, with its famous Roman Baths, Spa and Abbey, and fabulous alleyways of high quality shops; whilst to the north lies the lively metropolis of Bristol, England’s sixth city, and home of celebrated international artist Banksy, with a thriving arts and culture scene.
