Wellington College in England
Wellington College China is committed to providing a first-class, well-rounded education for pupils both inside and out of the classroom. As with all Wellington College schools, the Wellington Values and Identities form the heart of our holistic education. The Wellington Values of courage, respect, integrity, kindness and responsibility are as pertinent today as they were more than 159 years ago when Wellington College was founded in the United Kingdom. The Wellington vision is for pupils to become intellectual, independent, inspired, individual and inclusive: the Wellington Identities. This is based on a model of holistic education and pastoral provision that promotes the values and develops the knowledge needed to be an effective global citizen. We aim to prepare pupils for success during and beyond life at the College. In the Prep school, the curriculum is based on the national curriculum for England. In the Senior school, pupils follow the IGCSE and A Level or the IB Diploma.
Paul Rogers, Founding Executive Master of Wellington College Hangzhou
Mr. Paul Rogers is the founding Executive Master of Wellington College Hangzhou. The Wellington College Hangzhou campus covers over 74,000 square metres and comprises state-of-the-art facilities that afford pupils access to the very best academic and co-curricular opportunities. The appearance and design of the building are inspired by the distinctive architecture at the Wellington College in England. The outstanding interior design and construction team, who previously worked on Wellington schools in Tianjin and Shanghai, are building the very best in educational facilities in Hangzhou.
Wellington College’s tradition is to provide challenging, invigorating and enjoyable learning opportunities, featuring academic excellence and wide-range of co-curricular activities such as sport, arts and music. The science laboratories, the art rooms and the design technology suites are designed, first and foremost, to encourage an enjoyment in both practical and theoretical work. They also provide that extra level of creativity and ambition that great scientists, artists and designers strive for and achieve.
Sport is another major Wellington priority. The facilities here are second to none, with the sports hall, football pitch, a 400-metres all-weather synthetic running track, basketball and badminton courts, and two swimming pools, including a 25 metre, six-lane competition pool. Few schools in the world are blessed with the resources available at Wellington College International Hangzhou; all designed to support a wide-ranging co-curricular activities programme, both after school and at weekends.
