About our school
Wells Primary School is situated in the north-west of the London
Borough of Redbridge, in a quiet road just off the High Road,
Woodford Green. The school is within reach of Woodford
Station on the Central Line and is well served by bus routes.
The school catchment area is composed of almost entirely
owner-occupied housing and is bordered by the boroughs of Waltham
Forest and Essex.
The school was first opened in 1967 and is named after the many
wells that used to run through this area. It is largely a
single storey building, although a new extension was opened in 1997
with an upstairs classroom. When the extension was opened by
the Mayor of Redbridge, a time capsule was buried under the school
and is due to be opened in 2047.
We have a new visitor reception area as well as a large school
hall, dining area, library, computer suite, music tuition room, two
ample playgrounds and a grass area for use in fine weather.
Our Nursery opened in 1995 and has its own well-equipped outdoor
play area.
Our Aims
The Staff and Governors at Wells Primary School are fully
committed to providing the best possible educational opportunities
for all our children. We value and respect each pupil's
background and experience so that we can develop the whole

Our central aim is develop the child spiritually, morally,
socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically.
We will do this by helping pupils to:
- become confident and independent learners with a positive self
image
- improve standards of achievement across all areas of the
curriculum
- develop positive attitudes and values relevant to their own
experience and life, and show respect and understanding of
others
- develop lively and enquiring minds
- understand the world in which they live and celebrate their own
individuality as part of a multicultural society
