The curriculum blends the British framework with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, offering breadth from Year 9 through to Sixth Form. In Year 9 students study core subjects in Maths, English and Science, with two Humanities, two Modern Languages, Classics, electives and wellbeing integrated into a project culture; GCSE study begins in Fourth Form, with a core of essential subjects plus electives and Wellbeing, and options for academic enrichment through HPQ or Fragments. In Sixth Form pupils may follow the IB Diploma or A-Levels, with three Higher Level and three Standard Level subjects.

- Wellington College Prep requires a separate non‑refundable registration fee: GBP 240.
- On acceptance of a place an Administration Fee and an Acceptance Deposit (or an Overseas Deposit for pupils resident outside the UK) are payable. The Administration Fee is non‑refundable and the Deposit is refundable only in the circumstances set out in the acceptance contract. Exact acceptance/deposit amounts are specified in the Acceptance Form issued on offer.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Fees are invoiced on a termly basis. Each term's fees fall due for payment on the first day of that term; invoices are issued in advance. Supplemental charges for the term (uniform, exam fees, trips, optional lessons etc.) are included on the term invoice and are due on the same schedule.
- Parents with a UK bank account are required to return a completed direct debit mandate before a pupil joins; the College accepts payment by direct bank transfer or by direct debit collection. The College may, by agreement, allow termly invoices to be paid in instalments by direct debit in not more than three instalments over a period not exceeding three months; such an instalment plan must be agreed in writing.
- If an item on an invoice is queried, the balance of the invoice must still be paid on time. Interest is chargeable on overdue amounts at 1.5% per month and the College may recover costs of debt recovery. Persistent non‑payment may lead to refusal of attendance, withholding of references or termination of contract.

Boarding fees and what they cover

- The published boarding fee for the senior College is charged per term (GBP 21,690 per term) and is inclusive of VAT. The termly fee covers the costs incurred in the usual course of education; certain optional or individually charged items (for example, private music tuition, some trips, public examination fees, optional insurance, visa assistance costs) are treated as supplemental charges and billed separately.
- Wellington College Prep boarding fees and flexi/occasional boarding charges are detailed above under Prep fees. Prep termly fees specify that for boarders the fee includes meals and daily boarding provisions.

Other costs and typical supplemental charges

- Uniform: the College operates a College Shop (supplied via Stevensons) for official uniform and sports kit; uniform costs are charged as supplemental items and are not covered within the standard termly fee.
- Public examination fees, individual music lessons, certain trips (especially residential or international trips), optional health/insurance policies and visa application assistance are examples of supplemental charges that are invoiced in addition to termly fees. Parents' prior consent is sought for activities where per‑pupil cost exceeds the College's stated threshold.
- The Prep school publishes small additional charges (late‑stay, occasional boarding nights, holiday provision, meals) with per‑item tariffs.

Refund and cancellation rules

- Withdrawal before a pupil starts: if written notice to withdraw acceptance is provided more than 20 months before the scheduled start date, the Acceptance Deposit will be returned and no further fees are payable. If notice is given later, or after the relevant deadlines, a term's fees in lieu of notice will usually be charged and the Deposit may be applied against that sum.
- Withdrawal part‑way through a term: withdrawing a pupil part‑way through a term does not reduce the amount owed for that term and fees or supplemental charges already billed are not refundable.
- Expulsion, rustication or required removal: no refund or remission of fees or supplemental charges is payable in respect of the term in which a pupil is rusticated, expelled or required to be removed.
- Administration Fee on acceptance is non‑refundable; the Acceptance Deposit and any Overseas Deposit are refundable only in the limited circumstances set out in the acceptance contract.

Fee payment options and practical notes

- Registration/acceptance payments: the registration fee and some admissions payments can be paid by credit or debit card; for card‑less bank transfers parents are asked to notify Admissions when a transfer is made.
- Term invoices and supplemental charges: payable by direct bank transfer or by direct debit collection; approved instalment plans use direct debit. The College may agree exceptions for parents without a UK bank account but will require an alternative cleared payment method.
- For Prep families a monthly direct debit scheme for payment of fees can be set up with the Prep Business Manager.

Summary (key figures)

- Senior College termly fees (2026/27 headline figures): Boarding GBP 21,690 per term; Day GBP 15,930 per term (both figures shown as inclusive of VAT). Annual equivalents are three times these termly figures.
- College registration fee (full‑fee route): GBP 400 (non‑refundable); Prep registration fee: GBP 240 (non‑refundable). Acceptance requires payment of an Administration Fee (non‑refundable) and a Deposit (refundable only as permitted by the contract).

Academics

Wellington College teaches British Curriculum, IB (DP) for students aged 2 to 18.

Curriculum
Third Form (Year 9) delivers breadth and depth with Mathematics, English and Science as a core taught as a fully integrated course; two Humanities, two Modern Languages, Classics, three electives, Wellbeing, and the Malim Prize culminate their project work. Fourth and Fifth Forms study GCSEs with a core of essential subjects plus three further electives, Wellbeing and Higher Project Qualification (HPQ) or Wellington's internal Fragments course for academic enrichment. Sixth Form offers two pathways: the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and A-levels; most pupils study four subjects; both pathways are fully linear and twin-track. The IB Diploma provides a balanced, international and socially engaged education, with three Higher Level subjects and three Standard Level options; all IB pupils study Maths and English, plus a language, a science and a humanity as part of the IBDP. The curriculum also includes AI, entrepreneurship and global citizenship courses alongside drama, music and sport, and Life Beyond Wellington equips students with knowledge and skills for a changing world of work. The campus spans 400 acres with historic and state-of-the-art facilities, and days are structured to immerse pupils; wellbeing is interwoven into everything we do.

Exam Results
In May 2026 the IB Diploma cohort of 79 students achieved an average of 39.1 points (core average 2.4), with about 48% scoring 40+ points. In 2026 A-level results, 27% of grades were A* and 63% were A*/A, with 24 pupils achieving at least three A* grades.

In 2025, 93.6% of Upper Sixth candidates secured places at their first or second choice university. The Leavers' Destinations show strong outcomes, including places at Oxford or Cambridge over the past three years and many pupils moving on to top‑tier US and Russell Group universities. The Annual Sixth Form Universities Fair and the Careers and Higher Education Department support early and sustained higher‑education planning.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Wellbeing is an essential element of the College's philosophy, encouraging pupils to reflect on their own personal, social, emotional, and intellectual development. The Master's Mission notes Wellbeing was the first aspect to be taught as part of the formal curriculum.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is provided for overseas and international pupils who require it. All overseas and international pupils joining Wellington are expected to be proficient, if not fluent, in English. Any 16+ candidate whose first language is not English must complete UKiset as part of the application process, while 13+ candidates may offer UKiset results; all 13+ candidates complete English and Verbal Reasoning assessments as part of the ISEB Common Pretest.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is integrated into the Wellington approach, with Wellbeing considered an essential element of the Third Form curriculum and a historically prominent part of the College's educational philosophy.
Parent Experience

History
Founded in 1853 as a living memorial to the Duke of Wellington, Wellington College is a royal and religious foundation with the monarch as Visitor. The Royal Charter was granted in December 1853, the foundation stone was laid in 1856, and the first 76 pupils arrived in January 1859, with Queen Victoria opening the College a week later. It was created to educate the sons of Army officers who had died in service, with Foundationers paying minimal fees while the sons of living officers and civilians paid higher fees to subsidise. Prince Albert served as its first President and pressed for a broad curriculum that included Latin and Greek alongside mathematics, the sciences, modern languages and history. Since then the College has grown to around 1100 pupils, expanded from eight dormitories to 18 Houses, became fully co-educational from 2006, and widened access through initiatives such as the Prince Albert Foundation and the Wellington Family of Schools.

Community
The Wellington Community includes parents as part of the College's extended family. The Parents' Hub offers a programme of cultural, pastoral, social, business, careers and educational events for families connected with the College. Welly Connect is an exclusive online network for pupils, parents and Old Wellingtonians to network and stay informed about College life. Old Wellingtonians attend regular events and clubs, creating lifelong connections with Wellington College. Additionally, the community raises funds to support the Prince Albert Scholarships, widening access to Wellington for talented pupils from diverse backgrounds.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The Wellington Community engages parents through its Parents' Hub as the main channel for parent involvement. The Parents' Hub coordinates a calendar of cultural, pastoral, social, business, careers and educational events for families. Welly Connect is an exclusive online network for parents, pupils and Old Wellingtonians to network and stay informed about College life. Old Wellingtonians and parents participate in regular events and clubs that create lifelong connections with Wellington College. The community raises funds to support the Prince Albert Scholarships, widening access to Wellington for talented pupils from diverse backgrounds. This structure provides a platform for parents and guardians to support their children's education and maintain ties with the College beyond school years.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Entry points and routes. Wellington College accepts pupils at 11+, 13+, 14+ and 16+. For 11+ there are two routes: a full-fee route and a significant fee-assistance route (means-tested), with fee assistance available for families who qualify. Scholarships and exhibitions are offered at certain entry points and not all entry routes have scholarship opportunities; siblings and community connections are considered in admissions but do not guarantee a place. Overseas applicants and English-language requirements are part of the process. 2. Registration and fees. Registration requires a non‑refundable fee of £400. The closing date for Year 6 assessment is 30 June of Year 5 for 11+ entry; early registration improves the likelihood of House allocation. Registration can be completed online or by bank transfer, with bank details provided during registration; for some routes, fee-assistance eligibility is considered before choosing the registration path. 3. 11+ assessment process. The 11+ assessment begins in the Michaelmas term of Year 6 with an activities-based morning at Wellington College Prep. In November, candidates take the ISEB Common Pre-Test (English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning) and a school reference is requested. Some candidates are invited to spend a morning or afternoon at Wellington in the Lent term for a further assessment; offers follow assessment and reference reviews. 4. 13+ assessment process. The 13+ process is in two stages: Stage 1 uses the ISEB Common Pre-Test in Year 6 (or 7) and, based on results and the head teacher's reference, candidates may be invited to a selection day at Wellington. Stage 2 comprises an assessment morning/afternoon with collaborative lessons and an interview; offers are made in March of Year 6, conditional on a satisfactory report at the end of Year 8. 5. 14+ and 16+ entry and scholarships. 14+ entry exists: places are limited and scholarships are not awarded at 14+. For 16+ entry, scholarships are offered in Academic, Art, Dance, Drama, Music and Sport; every candidate is considered for an Academic scholarship automatically. Scholarships do not automatically reduce fees; Music Scholarships include free tuition in two instruments plus additional benefits; Choral Scholarships may also be awarded. 6. Fee assistance, means-tested funding and additional routes. Means-tested fee assistance is available, with full information on fee assistance published by the college; families are asked to estimate the level of fee assistance needed before selecting a registration route. 7. Other admissions considerations. The Admissions Office may consider siblings, community connections, and other ties to Wellington, but these do not guarantee offers. 8. Offers, waiting list and transfers. Wellington operates a Waiting List at all entry points; not all candidates on the Waiting List will receive an offer, and offers from the Waiting List are at the sole discretion of the Director of Admissions and the Master. Active consideration lasts until the start of the term before entry; candidates on the Waiting List can remain in consideration for a future entry, but cannot switch entry points without reapplying. Transfers after an offer are not typical; switching between Day and Boarding is generally not offered, and if a switch is needed, a place on the Waiting List for the desired status may be considered. 9. Overseas applicants and language requirements. Overseas applicants are welcome; fluency in English is required; 16+ entrants may need higher levels of English or UK-specific assessments (e.g., UKiset) and guardianship arrangements may be required for overseas pupils. 10. Right to study in the UK. The College requires evidence of the right to study in the UK for all pupils and sponsors visa processes where appropriate.

Scholarships
Scholarships at 13+ include Academic Scholarships offered before entry via Year 8 examination and interview; the majority of scholarships (including named Scholarships) are awarded at the end of Year 9, and all candidates are considered for Academic Scholarships automatically (there is no separate application). These scholarships entitle pupils to participate in the Academic Scholarship Programme but do not carry fee remission. From Year 10 there are about 24 Academic Scholars. Music Awards (including Choral Scholarships) are awarded through audition and interview at the end of Year 8; the application form is available for 13+ entry. Scholarships for Sport, Art, Dance and Drama are offered after joining Wellington College (end of Third Form). For 16+ entry, Academic, Art, Dance, Drama, Music and Sport Scholarships are available, and some Academic Scholarships may be offered before entry. Music Scholarships provide free tuition in two instruments (and related benefits). Choral Awards may also be offered. A Scholarship award does not reduce school fees. 14+ entry cannot be awarded scholarships. More information about the Wellington College Scholarship Programme is available on the Scholarships page. Means-tested bursaries are described under Assistance with Fees. Transfers after an offer and other policy details are described in the Admissions Policy.

Waitlist
Wellington College operates a Waiting List at all entry points. Not every candidate on the Waiting List will be offered a place, and no numerical ranking is provided on the Waiting List. Places off the Waiting List (and places in the term immediately prior to entry) are offered at the sole discretion of the Director of Admissions and the Master. Active consideration continues until the start of the term before entry. A family may request to remain on the Waiting List for Summer or after their child would have started, but this does not guarantee a place. A candidate on the Waiting List is offered a place only for the entry point they originally applied for; to be considered for a different entry point, a new application should be made according to the usual process.
