We aim to build and retain a love of learning throughout the school, educating our pupils to develop minds, not simply careers, to assume responsibility for a world that is not always of their making. Wellington’s curriculum equips pupils to think, and we believe in providing a curriculum that is logical, robust, and organised by learning, not simply assessment. The curriculum is flexible enough to allow each pupil to plot their academic path through the College, with all pupils expected to excel. We place an emphasis on core subject knowledge as well as the ‘craft of the classroom’. We realise that the curriculum is an ongoing conversation, subject to regular review, seeking to provide pupils with the most stimulating environment in which to learn. It is important that teaching is effective for all pupils, taking into account their educational needs and stage. We aim for pupils to become independent learners, capable of thinking for themselves so they are prepared for higher education and adult life.
