Bedales School Competitors

Independent day and boarding school for boys aged 7-18, with co-educational kindergarten and infants school.

Wellington College is a school like no other. Where many focus on examination results and view league table position as the main criterion for success, the whole ethos of Wellington is focused on each and every individual who passes through our gates. We want our pupils to be inspired by everything they do at Wellington, both inside and outside of the classroom, so they leave school as interested and interesting people. We want our pupils to adopt a genuinely intellectual approach to their academic work and to their view of the world around them, in the knowledge that a Wellington education is only the beginning of an exciting and life-long journey of learning. We want our pupils to become truly independent, as those who can think, learn and cope independently will be the leaders and game-changers of the future. We want each and every pupil to be valued and developed as an individual, so their Wellington experience is much more than just going to school – rather, it is the journey to self. And we want our pupils to be inclusive in all dealings with other people, so they leave the College not in a bubble of privilege and elitism, but with the ability to engage with their local, national and international communities, and with a burning desire to do good in the world. Will you let your child join us on that journey? It could be the most inspired choice you ever make.

We are a leading co-educational boarding and day school for 11-18 year olds situated on a green 500-acre campus between London and Cambridge. We were first established in 1862. We have a dedicated Lower School for Years 7 and 8 - ‘a school within a school’. It offers a bespoke two-year Diploma course, small class sizes and a supportive environment. It is the perfect place for our youngest pupils to try new things and broaden their horizons. We offer a wide range of subjects to inspire our pupils. We offer a mixture of GCSEs and IGCSEs, and in our Sixth Form, you can choose between A Levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma. We are well-known for our co-curricular offering; pupils can try their hand at over 100 activities. These range from rugby to beekeeping, archery to dance. Every year we host a Model United Nations conference attended by around 600 pupils from schools across the world.
