Big. Small.
You don’t just come to Wellington, you belong.
A thriving school of over 1,100 students, with 18 Houses that are small enough for each child to feel at home – a place where they are known, supported, and part of a close-knit community. From the moment they arrive, every student becomes part of a House, a team, a tradition, a family – Wellington is a place where lifelong friendships are forged, voices are heard, and everyone is valued. You don’t just come to Wellington, you belong.

Everything. Anything.
Find your true self at Wellington.
At Wellington, students don’t have to choose between being an academic, an artist, an athlete, or a leader. They can be all of them or any of them, as they embark on a journey of self-discovery in an environment that encourages every passion to flourish. Students are challenged and supported in equal measure because here, academic ambition and personal wellbeing go hand in hand.
-
Time. Space.
The time to fully immerse yourself in College life.
With 400 acres of stunning grounds, Wellington offers the space to breathe, the time to think and the environment to be yourself. Whether it’s exploring an academic passion, enjoying a particular sport, or getting lost in the arts, students have the freedom to discover who they are. From historic buildings to state-of-the-art facilities, our beautiful setting isn’t just a backdrop – it’s a home, a home that inspires. Days here are carefully structured to enable all students to immerse themselves fully in the Wellington experience.
-
Human. Intelligence.
Achieve outstanding results and so much more.
Academic excellence is just the beginning at Wellington. We empower students to achieve GCSE, A Level and IB results that are simply outstanding, not just nationally, but globally. Our pioneering approach nurtures independent thinkers, equipping them for higher education and beyond, and wellbeing is inter-woven into everything we do — ensuring every student flourishes in a dynamic and supportive environment. Because at Wellington, we don’t just develop minds — we inspire futures.
-
Perspective. Purpose.
Inspired by our traditions, and always looking forwards.
With a wonderful fusion of heritage and future-focus, Wellington blends history with innovation. Our curriculum offers AI, entrepreneurship and global citizenship courses, alongside world-class academics, drama, music, and sport. In additional our unique Life Beyond Wellington programme equips our students with the knowledge and skills they’ll need for an ever-changing world of work. Inspired by our traditions, we’re always looking forwards, constantly striving to sit at the forefront of educational thinking. And here education is all about developing intellect – curiosity, creativity, and character – preparing students for life.
-
All. Together.
A strong sense of community, kindness, and excellence without exclusivity.
Wellington is a school for the ambitious, the curious and the ‘can-doers’. This is a place where all students can thrive – bringing together a broad array of perspectives, talents, and ambitions. And widening access is at the heart of our vision for the future, to allow children from all walks of life to thrive at Wellington, enriching our community and striving to provide an education that offers excellence without exclusivity.
-
Above. Beyond.
Lifelong friendships and the human skills to help serve and shape a better world.
This is an education with purpose — learning, leading, giving back. Whether it’s through service projects, leadership initiatives, or global citizenship programmes, Wellingtonians make an impact far beyond the classroom. And the Wellington journey doesn’t stop at 18 – this is a lifelong adventure. Our students leave with more than just qualifications – they make lifelong friendships, connections, and gain the human skills to enable them to thrive, wherever life takes them.
