Wellington offers a broad and balanced education with a wide range of GCSE and A-level subjects. Considerable emphasis is placed on outdoor activities (Combined Cadet Force and D of E) and on sport, enhanced by the Olympic Standard Sports Complex. There are extensive playing fields, an indoor swimming pool and a dedicated fencing salle. Music and drama are flourishing areas of the curriculum and there is a new theatre and music school with a Steinway piano in every teaching and practice room. There is a strong tradition of academic excellence, with high rates of entry into top Universities.
The boarding houses are modern and comfortable and the experienced housestaff provide a warm and supportive family environment for all the boys and girls in their care.
“The school provides an excellent all round education, by the time they leave school pupils personal qualities are exceptionally well developed.”
