Weston School is a full primary school for Years 1 to 8, at 1 Charles Street in the centre of Weston township, in the Waitaki district of North Otago. The school is in the centre of the township but serves the wide rural area around it, which gives it a rural feel with the opportunities of a larger school. Its grounds are expansive, and the school says it is very proud of its community. Its Home and School Association raises money for activities the operational funding cannot cover. Teachers work in two teams, Years 1 to 4 and Years 5 to 8, and the school is EnviroSchools-based, with an Enviro Group and a polycarbonate tunnel house for it, funded by a donation from Craigmore Farming.
Students take part in kapa haka, choir, the Enviro Group, Bridge Club and sports including basketball, miniball, touch and hockey, and they go on class trips and camps. Senior students have leadership opportunities. The school is developing a Maker Space for digital technologies, a space for its gifted and talented programme, and a multi-purpose learning area for science and technology. It is part of the Whitestone Kāhui Ako with one secondary school and six other full primary schools, and it works with local early childhood centres and kindergartens to help children move into school.
