• Wellow House is nurturing, inclusive and community minded and aims to give children the best possible start and support them as they grow through the school.

• Will suit families wanting a smaller all-through day school where children are known well and can grow within one setting.

Admissions at Wellow House are welcoming and community based, and should appeal to families seeking a Nottinghamshire day school where children can move from the early years into the senior phase within one small environment. It should suit parents who want a nurturing atmosphere but also value the recent expansion of senior provision and a growing scholarships story.

Scholarships are now a visible part of the current admissions picture, especially for pupils joining key transition years. Even so, the bigger attraction is the nurturing atmosphere and the continuity of staying in one school community.

The overall picture is friendly and personal, with the school describing itself as an independent co-educational day school for 2 to 16 year olds and publishing scholarship opportunities at Year 3, Year 7 and Year 9. Parents should still visit because the key question is whether the school's smaller all-through scale feels broad enough for the later years as well as the early ones.
