Wadestown School is a state co-educational primary school for Year 1 to 8 children, with a roll of 320 as of March 2020.
The school is situated on two sites about 1km apart.

The Weld Street campus (previously known as the Side School) is designed for new entrants, and consists of parallel junior classes (Year 1–2).
The grounds include landscaped gardens, a playground with a slide and decks, a playing field and a small pool for swimming.
The Deputy Principal has an office at both Rose Street and Weld Street, sharing time between the two locations.

The Rose Street campus (previously known as the Main School) is located on multiple levels of a hilly site between Rose Street and Purakau Avenue, above Wadestown Road.
It provides for children from Year 2 to Year 8.
The access to the Rose Street campus is by footpath from Mairangi Road at the top of Rose Street, and only limited vehicular access is available.
There is also pedestrian access from Wilton Road via Purakau Avenue.
At the Rose Street campus there are four blocks of classrooms at different levels.
Despite the hilly site, the Rose Street grounds include landscaped gardens, a playing field, a large flat playground and three tennis courts.

The majority of Wadestown pupils come from the local suburb but a number also come from Wilton, Chartwell, Thorndon, Khandallah and Crofton Downs.
The school has an enrolment zone scheme in place.

Wadestown School was first opened on the Weld Street site on 1 June 1881, and was one of the earliest schools in Wellington.
It was initially built as a single classroom schoolhouse, but by 1896 it had been extended twice.
The original Side School building was demolished after the Second World War and rebuilt in the current layout, being officially opened on 15 June 1946.
The Rose Street campus began as two classrooms on the present Rose Street site, opening in February 1917.
There have been a number of renovations and building developments that have occurred on the site since.

A detailed history of the school was published in 2006 in preparation for the 125th Anniversary in November 2006.
