"Pupils are happy at this large and friendly school."

Ofsted, 2025

"The school encourages all pupils to ‘celebrate diversity’, ‘embrace challenge’ and ‘choose respect’. As a result, this school is a caring and inclusive community. It helps pupils to flourish inside and outside of lessons so that they are ready for their next stage."

Welcome to Short Wood Primary School!

Our school is located in the centre of Wellington, Telford. We have a spacious award winning eco-friendly building that offers a stimulating and safe learning environment. Our warm, friendly and respectful atmosphere supports positive working relationships between adults and children.

We are a culturally diverse school; governors and all staff encourage and respect all cultures and faiths. We work alongside children and encourage them to have aspirations and set high expectations for themselves. We have first class facilities throughout the school with light, airy classrooms and excellent facilities for sports and the arts.

Our school is surrounded by a beautiful green space; we have Forest Schools activities happening everyday and use the outdoors for learning all year round. We also have extensive playing fields with provision for football, athletics, rounders, cricket and rugby. The school hall and gymnasium are used for indoor activities and training sessions and, with Arthog Outreach based in our Sports Hall, we have a climbing wall fitted and a low ropes course.
