Wellington Town Council are working with a number of local organisations to ensure that there is a variety of youth provision in Wellington.
Much of this is facilitated through the Kings Arms Community Hub, with representatives from Young Somerset and In the Mix Project holding regular events for 11-16 year olds. Please click on the link to the Kings Arms Community Hub webpage to see the most recent timetable.
Designed to help year 5 pupils become more confident, independent, and foster a passion for learning, the Wellington Learner Award is the Town Council’s way to engage with young people in the town. Participating schools receive a visit from a member of Council staff and the Mayor of Wellington to launch the award and every year 5 pupil is provided with a folder to serve as their portfolio of work throughout the year.
This award encourages children to identify an area of learning they would like to improve and work to better themselves throughout the school year. At the end of the year, their portfolio will be a representation of their best work and their growth as a student. Each child that has completed the award will receive a certificate, with each school having a winner and two runners up. The winning portfolio from each school will be collected and judged by the Mayor who will choose an overall winner.
