Welcome to Wellington College
Wellington College is the place where a fusion of originality, innovation and 150 years of tradition and history produces an education unlike any other.
The College was founded by Queen Victoria and Prime Minister The Earl of Derby in 1859 as the national monument to the Duke of Wellington, one of Britain's greatest military figures, who also twice served the country with distinction as Prime Minister. Daily life here is still shaped by the Duke's paramount beliefs in service, honour and duty, along with the values of respect, hard work, honesty, trust and the highest possible academic aims.
The school's 'Eight Aptitudes' approach puts into practice a commitment to developing the whole child, engaging pupils intellectually, artistically, physically, morally and spiritually. Self-discipline, effort grades, individual support, high expectations and a focus on well-being underpin this development, producing a dramatic rise in results and an atmosphere of success, excitement and real purpose.
Prospective parents and pupils are most welcome to attend one of our Visitors Days, or please call us to talk further about your own particular interest in Wellington.
