Selection Criteria: Selective
Although Wellington College is an academic school, they believe passionately in a holistic education. Selection for entry is not solely based on academic criteria as they also consider the character, interests, talents and personality of every individual who applies.
Joining at 13+: Many of our 13+ joiners into the Third Form come from UK prep schools and over 100 feeder prep schools are represented in the current body of Wellingtonians.
We also welcome a significant number of pupils from other educational backgrounds such as grammar schools, 11-18 day schools, state schools and international schools. We strive to maintain a diversity of intake and there is no right or wrong route for preparing a child for joining Wellington.
Joining at 14+: We are delighted that a restructuring of our boarding houses has enabled us to create a small number of places for entry at 14+. We know that for many families, moving schools just before GCSE courses start makes considerable sense.
Joining at 16+: Our Sixth Form intake is highly diverse with around half of our new pupils joining from a variety of UK schools and the other half coming from international contexts all around the world.
Intellectual curiosity and co-curricular passion characterise the 40-50 ambitious young men and women who join our Sixth Form every year.
