Wedmore First School Academy was formed in 1876.
The present school moved to its current attractive site with large grounds and views of fields and orchards in 1990. The school was extended in 2016/17 creating four new large and airy classrooms linked to the original school building.
We are fortunate to have our own heated outdoor swimming pool, a vegetable garden and polytunnel plus extensive playing areas, including an activity trail. The adjoining sports facilities can also be accessed by the school, including an all-weather surface sports pitch which we use regularly for games sessions.
We play an integral role in the life of Wedmore village, which enjoys a particularly strong and vibrant sense of community. Our staff and pupils participate in numerous local events and regularly attend services at St. Mary's Church. Although not affiliated to a particular religious body, religious education at the school is Christian-based and non-denominational.
Our school meals are freshly prepared on site every day and offer pupils great nutrition and choice. We offer extended care to pupils on site before and after school.
On the 1st September 2016, we became part of a multi academy trust known as the Wessex Learning Trust. The trust comprises 8 schools within the Cheddar Valley geographic area. The multi academy trust can offer educational provision from ages 2 – 19. There is a strong sense of partnership between the 8 schools and a commitment to providing a top-quality education for all children at every stage of learning.

Wedmore in Bloom is a friendly group of volunteers who are keen to keep Wedmore looking beautiful throughout the seasons, by planting and maintaining flowers and shrubs, in and around the village.

What we do
In late Spring and early Autumn, we plant up 69 troughs and tubs for seasonal colour throughout the year and continue to find new places in the village to enhance with attractive floral displays. Last year, 4000 bulbs and plants were planted. In addition to seasonal planting, volunteers also maintain several existing areas of permanent, sustainable planting.
How you can be involved
Work Party: New volunteers are always welcome at Wedmore In Bloom monthly task days. We meet at 9.30 am, outside The George, on the second Saturday of the month, when jobs are allocated. Seasonal planting is one of the major tasks, as well as ongoing maintenance, weeding and new planting initiatives. After an hour’s work, we meet up for refreshments and a friendly chat.
A desire to keep Wedmore blooming beautifully is the only essential skill necessary, so why not bring a trowel and join in?
Watering: Watering the many troughs and tubs is an essential job, especially in the summer, so additional helpers are always needed. If you can help with this task, please get in touch. Your offer will be gratefully received.
Contact: Shona Stewart (chairperson): shonamstewart@hotmail.co.uk
As well as our monthly post-work party coffee gatherings, our social events include a winter dinner and AGM, a spring coffee morning and plant sale and an alfresco summer lunch for volunteers and WIB sponsors.
History
Wedmore in Bloom was founded in 2005 and the volunteers at that time were encouraged to enter the South West in Bloom competition. After yearly RHS Britain in Bloom awards from 2006, Wedmore represented the South West in the large village category, winning gold in 2010 and 2011.
That original vision and energy continue to inspire today’s volunteers.
Fundraising
Wedmore in Bloom relies on villagers, local businesses and local societies for funding.
If you would like to make a donation and help to support and maintain the colourful village displays, please contact our funding secretary:
