Background
History
Wedmore First School was founded in 1876 on Cheddar Road, Wedmore, before moving to its current location. It became an academy, directly funded by central government, in 2011, and joined the Wessex Learning Trust group of schools in 2016. In March 2017, former Somerset County Cricket Club wicketkeeper Jos Buttler opened four new £500,000 classrooms at the school, after the proposed expansion was greenlit by the Department for Education. In July 2019, Avon and Somerset Police's Speed Enforcement Unit released details regarding mobile speed cameras outside the school.
