We benefit from exceptional facilities including a beautifully maintained grass track on the ‘Rockies’ sports ground in the centre of College. The programme enables pupils to try all the events and represent the College in competitions both home and away. Wellington has a superb athletics coaching team, including pro-coaching staff and teaching staff with experience at club and university competition level. Our coaches foster a warm and friendly environment, providing coaching and development across all ages, from grass roots level to more advanced elite skills. In Athletics we try to encourage every pupil to discover their potential, whatever level they might be.
The College engages in a regular programme of competition throughout the summer term, both at Inter-School and representative level, competing against a variety of schools across the South East, alongside regional and county events. The athletics provision is twofold, encouraging an enjoyment of the sport from all ability levels and challenging our elite athletes with specialised training and support. The emphasis is on technical skill, fitness and fun.
The College has excellent links with local athletics clubs and encourages pupils to attend external training sessions where desired. Strength and conditioning training is also integrated within the College’s athletics training programme.
