Speech Day 2025
The pinnacle of the Wells Cathedral School calendar is our annual Speech Day, where pupils and their families gather to celebrate the year’s achievements and bid goodbye to the departing Upper Sixth.
It is always a very emotional day off the back of exam season and our end of year events (just the night before, our stunning Symphony Orchestra concert took place in the Cathedral) which sees the hard work of the Summer Term and beyond pay off.
Spread across our Sports Hall, Wells Cathedral and Cedars Lawn, the day encompasses our School physically as well as metaphorically, allowing everyone a glimpse at many of our Boarding Houses and the magical Vicars’ Close alike.
Speech Day, as every day, makes us extremely proud of our School.
We wish everyone a wonderful summer, and hope that our leavers keep in touch through our Foundation – we are so excited to see where they all go next. Our only ask is that they continue to embody our School motto:
Esto Quod Es.
Be what you are, become the best you can be.
