We Are Wellington

Each person's connection to Wellington is unique to them

Widening access is in our DNA at Wellington

The role of the Wellington Community is to build a supportive life-long community. We have developed a global professional and social network, deliver a diverse programme of events and offer invaluable careers support, guidance and mentoring opportunities. We also restore, preserve and celebrate the ‘Wellington Collection’ of art and artefacts.

Another major part of our work is to raise funds for the ‘Widening Opportunity at Wellington’ (WOW) campaign to ensure we continue to be able to offer places to more young people with talent and promise the amazing opportunities that a Wellington education provides.

WIDENING OPPORTUNITIES AT WELLINGTON

WOW!

Talent is spread evenly throughout society, but opportunity is not.

Our WOW Scholarship Award Programme sets out to offer the life changing opportunity that a Wellington education provides to many more young people with talent and ambition who simply cannot afford the fees.

OUR PROGRAMMES

Opportunities to get involved

We want every member of the Wellington Community to be able to enjoy and benefit from their association with the College and the Community. We have a number of exciting opportunities across our programmes for members of the Community to be part of.

Christian Prayer Group

8:00 pm, The Crypt Chapel

The Christian Prayer Group has been set up by a group of Wellington parents, from a variety of church backgrounds, who believe prayers have a positive impact on school life. It gives parents the opportunity to get together and pray for the school, its governors and staff, the pupils and their families. The group welcomes all parents and staff, and anyone else within the Wellington Community with an interest in praying blessings on the school community.

This group meets twice per term to pray, the meetings are very informal and take place on Sunday evenings, in the Crypt Chapel (down the steps beside the Chapel).

Registration will open shortly.
