Ofsted complimented on the welcoming approach provided to new pupils and how teachers helped pupils to settle into their learning and how English and Mathematics knowledge was gained through its well-planned activities and play within key stage one.

CEO of Ascend Learning Trust, Jane Coley said: “Wellington Lions Primary staff have worked extremely hard, pulling together as a team to create a strong outcome for all. It was heartening to receive such a positive report from Ofsted, the school has worked tirelessly on its improvement journey since joining Ascend Learning Trust.

“The report commented on how pupils and staff encourage each other and work well together to achieve the school’s mission of creating the curious child. The inspectors commented on how staff are quick to welcome new pupils into their classroom which is key factor in the success as the school is in a military town.

"A massive well done to Claire Addis and Jake Bailey and all the staff at Wellington Lions for their well-deserved Good.”
