"Pupils' wellbeing is at the centre of leaders' decision-making"

ISI Inspection 2025

The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) visited Wellington College in September 2025. The College met all of the standards, both Independent School Standards Regulations (ISSRs) and the National Minimum Standards for boarding (NMS).

As part of the inspection process, surveys are completed by all stakeholders. We were thrilled with the overall satisfaction rates of 96% for pupils, 98% for parents and 99% for staff – figures which surpassed the results of our 2014, 2018 and 2022 inspections.

The report itself acknowledges the positive, purposeful, unified and integrated school community, one where “pupils’ wellbeing is at the centre of leaders’ decision-making”. The curriculum is described as “rich and challenging” with the result that “pupils achieve high grades at GCSE and A level and in the IB”. The co-curricular programme is highlighted as including a “wide range of high-quality recreational and enrichment opportunities” and the pastoral care is noted for providing pupils with “a high level of care”.

We are very proud to share the report’s findings via the link below.
