Wellfield Academy Primary Masterclass Programme 2024
Welcome to Wellfield Academy’s Primary Masterclass Programme for Able and Ambitious Year 5 primary students.
At Wellfield, our mission is to provide the very best for all of our community. This means creating an inclusive environment where staff and students, who are known as individuals, endeavour to be the best they can be in a highly aspirational learning community.
Our programme aims to provide a taste of what challenge and competition looks like in a secondary setting through a series of exciting and engaging masterclasses at our school site on Yewlands Drive. Our primary masterclasses are designed to provide challenging and thought-provoking sessions for students from local primary schools who want to extend their learning outside of the KS2 curriculum.
Please browse the events that we have available below and then use the booking page to register your interest.
All of our events take place between 9.20-10.50am and can accommodate up to four students from each primary school, who should be accompanied by a member of staff. The events have limited spaces available so please do book your spaces as early as possible, within the window provided, to avoid disappointment!
Bookings for each event will close once maximum numbers are reached, or by the deadline indicated, whichever comes soonest.
If you have any additional queries, please contact the school office on 01772 421303 or email enquiries@wellfieldacademy.org
