About

Wellington College is a pioneering co-educational institution, driven by the need to prepare young people to serve and shape the world of tomorrow. 'A school with mind, heart, and a constant fizz!' Wellington College is one of the UK's — and indeed the world's — great co-educational boarding and day schools.

The College is set in 400 acres of beautiful parkland and is home to a blend of breathtaking original architecture and modern state-of-the-art facilities to provide the best possible educational environment for our pupils.

The school was founded in 1853 as the living memorial to the Duke of Wellington, described by Queen Victoria as "the greatest man this country has ever produced". A wonderful fusion of heritage and modernity characterises our educational philosophy.

Our curriculum, facilities, and teaching methods are constantly adapting to the challenges of preparing young people for the ever-changing world of the 21st century.
