T e school’s stated purpose is ‘to develop confi dent, rounded
and grounded young people equipped with the empathy and energy to make a positive diff erence to the world’ reinforced by a co-curricular programme that goes hand in hand with fi rst-class teaching to deliver an all-round education. Simon added: “Academic results are important, of course, but
we focus on delivering outstanding education with pathways for pupils with diff erent interests and abilities, and preparing them for life beyond school, while still building on the history of the school. “We are working to form stronger partnerships with other
organisations, local primary schools and businesses, and we want to show the pride that Wellingborough School has in our school and our local community. “T e Gateway Building is also a new gateway to the school,
creating a cleaner, more professional entrance and opening up opportunities to build stronger links with our wider network.” With pupils able to join Wellingborough School in the nursery
at just two years old and go right through to Sixth Form, children of all ages benefi t from the impressive facilities on off er throughout their education. Pupils in the Lower and Upper Prep Schools undertake the
International Primary Curriculum which interlinks subjects and topics – something that will be enhanced by the time they will spend in the Gateway Building. Katharine Owen, Head of the Prep School, said: “One of the
benefi ts of being a through school is that younger children have facilities available to them that might not typically be found in primary schools. “Technology runs throughout school life and young children
today have only ever known a life with technology at their fi ngertips, and what is important is learning how to integrate it into their lives and also getting the right balance with the non-tech side of things.

“Children love to work with their hands, whether it’s getting
stuck into food tech lessons or making things in the workshop, and the beauty of our curriculum is that it encourages learning through doing, because that’s the most eff ective way to learn. “Young children are so enthusiastic about learning, and we
encourage them to be curious and ask lots of questions, and having a facility like this available to them is only going to make learning that little bit easier and more fun.” As well as the Open Day on March 7 and similar events later
in the year, the Nursery off ers regular Stay and Play sessions for children from two years, where they and their parents can spend time experiencing more of what Wellingborough School has to off er.
