We Are Wellington

Each person's connection to Wellington is unique to them

Widening access and opportunity 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 programme to offer 100%+ bursaries – 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.

Wellies 4 Welly

Celebrating widening access and opportunity

On Saturday the 30th November we are asking all students and staff to wear their Wellies to Welly to celebrate and show their support for the work that the College does to widen access and opportunity at Wellington.

WIDENING OPPORTUNITIES AT WELLINGTON

WOW!

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

We want to do what we can to address this disparity and support access and opportunity for more young people in our community and beyond. Our College community is enriched by having a bright, ambitious, talented and inclusive student body.

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.
