Curriculum

Wellington pupils follow a mixture of the British National Curriculum and the International Primary Curriculum from Pre-Nursery until Year 9, which leads to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education IGCSE in Years 10–11. In Years 12 and 13, the pupils study for the highly recognised International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).[3]

Sport

Throughout the academic year, pupils are able to experience all major sport, including football, cricket, rugby, netball, swimming, athletics, and racket sports such as tennis and badminton. In addition to these, more sports are offered within the co-curricular activities including scuba diving and martial arts.[4]

Pupils have the opportunity to compete at home and abroad. The college is invited or hosts a range of sporting competitions through our memberships in leagues including the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA) and Association of China and Mongolia International Schools (ACAMIS).

The college is home to a sports hall, three football pitches, a 400-meter all-weather synthetic running track, tennis and basketball courts, and two swimming pools, including a 25 metres, six-lane competition pool, amongst multiple other indoor and outdoor facilities.[5]

Activities

Various co-curricular activities run from Monday to Thursday as an integral and compulsory part of the school day from Year 3 onwards. Annual events like the Summer Festival and the Arts Festival also provide opportunities for pupils to perform and showcase their learning and talent across drama, dance, music, creative writing, art and design.[6]
