Wookey Primary School is a village community school run by Somerset Local Education Authority. At present there are 95 pupils on roll organised into four teaching groups, as well as up to 20 on roll at our preschool, Little Acorns.

The school is situated on the edge of the village of Wookey, nestling at the foot of the Mendip Hills, and set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, some two miles from the Cathedral City of Wells.

The school originally dates back to 1844, and was founded by St Matthew's Church. Later, in 1880, the celebrated novelist HG Wells joined the school as a pupil tutor for a short period following his uncle, who was Headteacher at that time. The school has seen many changes since the Victorian era and now, thanks to a number of recent refurbishments, adaptations and upgrades, possesses excellent accommodation, whilst still maintaining much of its original character.

The main school building consists of two classrooms, a library, a lunch hall/intervention room and the former schoolhouse, which incorporates the administrative part of the school. There are also two further classrooms next to the main school building plus our preschool, set in extensive grounds, which include a spacious playing field, two playgrounds, a traverse wall, an environmental area and an area we call 'Wookey Workout', equipped with high-grade outdoor exercise equipment. 

Parents have a positive role to play in school, many supporting with visits and offering their time and skills to improve our learning experiences and environments. The Wookey School Association (WSA) raises funds for equipment and activities by organising many social events throughout the year.

In the latest Ofsted Report (September 2019) the school was judged as good.
