The Welldon Park Academy

What The Welldon Park Academy does

The Welldon Park Academy is a state-funded primary academy located in South Harrow, London, providing education for children aged 3-11 from Nursery through Year 6. It was formed on 1 March 2019 as part of The Pegasus Partnership Trust, a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) established jointly with Priestmead Primary School, serving approximately 1,400 children and 200 staff across both academies. The school delivers a full National Curriculum enriched with Read Write Inc. systematic phonics (Nursery through Year 2), White Rose Maths, Jigsaw PSHE, Forest School outdoor learning, Spanish at Key Stage 2, and a Character Education programme.

The school's technology stack is built on standard commercial ed-tech platforms rather than proprietary systems: Google Classroom serves as the primary learning platform for assignments, registrations via Google Meet, and teacher feedback; Seesaw handles parent communication in Early Years (Nursery and Reception) with photo and video uploads integrated into Learning Journey documentation; and Arbor functions as the school management system for payments, club bookings, and student information (replacing ParentPay as of January 2025). The school's digital outreach extends across Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, supplemented by weekly video updates and a Google Calendar subscription feed for parents.

Revenue is generated primarily through government funding streams including per-pupil allocations and Pupil Premium, plus Sports Premium of approximately £9,000 annually. Supplementary transaction-based income comes from facility lettings (halls with 100-400 person capacity, 20 classrooms, sports playground, kitchen, and 40-vehicle parking, available evenings Monday-Friday and weekends year-round) and catering services provided by The Pantry on-site kitchen. Admissions are administered through Harrow Council with prospective parent tours held weekly on Tuesday mornings. The school was rated GOOD across all areas by OFSTED in June 2023.
