Wellington College prides itself on its progressive approach to education. With a commitment to rethinking traditional methods, the school maintains a flexible approach. Small class sizes, averaging 16 up to GCSEs and 10 in the sixth form, ensure personalised attention and a high staff-to-pupil ratio of six to one. The curriculum at Wellington College is designed to cultivate independent learners capable of critical thinking, with an emphasis on both core subject knowledge and the 'craft of the classroom'. Wellington College provides a diverse curriculum with minimal setting but some streaming in maths and languages, offering Mandarin alongside four other languages, while also featuring popular options like dance, design engineering, and computer science. With a balanced mix of A levels and the IB, Wellington offers a rigorous yet flexible pathway tailored to each student's strengths and interests, preparing them for success in higher education and beyond. With a commitment to championing individuality, the school supports students in starting their own clubs and initiatives. From art exhibitions showcasing delightful ceramics to quirky extracurricular activities like 'glass fusing with Mrs. Carr', Wellington offers a wide array of opportunities for students to engage in creative expression and personal development.
