In Year 12, to start from August 2025, pupils will undergo a full university induction programme and have the opportunity to attend various higher education-focused events. These events are attended by the vast majority of the leading universities and gives pupils the opportunity to speak directly with admissions tutors. Specific times are also dedicated to university preparation and campus visits.
Wellingtonians will also be supported in their career aspirations by our Careers and Higher Education Department, which will oversee work placements, careers lectures, university fairs, and gap year opportunities. Due to the strength of the global Wellington network, we are also able to fit Sixth Formers’ career aspirations with relevant Old Wellingtonians and parents across all sectors, who can offer valuable advice, support and even work experience.
