- Wellington College, a co-ed school in Berkshire, was founded in 1853 as a living memorial to the Duke of Wellington. Its values are kindness, respect, courage, integrity and responsibility.
- More than 100 Wellingtonians have won places at Oxbridge and many others offers from top US universities during the past four years. About 72 per cent of sixth-formers received results of A*-A or HL6 at A-level and IB, and 91 per cent achieved A*-B or HL5.
- The school has previously won the Boarding School Association’s best community work award for its programme in which teachers and pupils provide tutoring and friendship to local refugee children.
- There are 150 co-curricular activities and 70 clubs and societies, from the school’s television company, WTV, to the pupil-run radio station, DukeBox, which reaches listeners in 41 countries. Popular societies include medicine, girls’ football, feminism, culture, LGBTQ+ and architecture.
- The school’s charitable Prince Albert Foundation funds means-tested fee assistance and offers full awards, including covering the cost of uniform, other set-up costs and enrichment opportunities.
