Prep Admissions

We welcome applications into our Prep School across all ages and we would love to see you. Do please come and visit the School. 

We thoroughly enjoy showing parents and pupils around so they can see what a happy and exciting place, this is and find out more about the wonderful opportunities .  

We live by our four principles; Embrace Complexity, Spark Connections, Lead Together and Act Today.  Living by these principles sets up Wellington pupils for extraordinary success in life, not only equipping them with the skills they need for an uncertain future, but building their character too.

When you visit you’ll meet wonderfully grounded young people who are quietly becoming leaders without even realising it.

Applications for places are accepted at all ages provided there is sufficient room within the year group.

Admissions to Nursery:  

In the Nursery there is a new intake each term.  Children are eligible to join the Nursery at 3 years of age.  As long as a child is old enough, children may join throughout the year if spaces are available. Children should aim to spend a minimum of 6 sessions per week with us. Parents will then receive an invitation to bring their child for a taster session to take place in the term before they wish to start.

They will also be sent a booklet to be completed at home prior to the taster day (“All About Me”). Information within the booklet will be shared during the taster day.  

Our Nursery takes pupils from age 3 onwards and we have extended our Early Years Entitlement to offer up to 30 hours per week  for those families who are eligible.

Do contact our Admissions Team on 01823 668803 or admissions@wellington-school.org.uk for more information on the Early Years Entitlement.


Admissions to Reception - Year 6

If places are available, pupils may enter at any age and time during the academic year.  

On completion of an application form and payment of the required registration fee, pupils will be registered for entry at a particular date.  

Children will be invited to spend a day in an appropriate class in order to get to know their peer group by working and socialising alongside them during a normal school day.  Over the course of the day the necessary assessment will take place, which will usually be informal observations of a child’s ability and disposition.
