Residential option for delegates if required

There are 150 places available on the course. Wellington College has secured substantial subsidies for 50 state school places. The first 50 teachers and other qualifying participants from state schools to apply (subject to qualifying status being confirmed)  will pay the reduced cost of the programme, which is £495 + VAT (£695 +VAT for a residential place). Up to two subsidised places are available for each state school.

Once these subsidised places are filled, further places will be available to state schools at the non-subsidised rate of £1,495 + VAT (£1,695 + VAT for a residential place), which is also the rate applying to independent school places.
