At Wellington School, we have six School Houses, which are fully co-educational and run throughout the School from Year 7 to the Sixth Form.

All House members get involved in fund-raising and other engaging group activities.

Older students mentor the younger ones and welcome them into the School and their House. The House Captains are crucial in setting the house identity and organising events. One day a week is a dedicated “House Day”, where the houses have activities, meetings and lunch together to build house loyalty, camaraderie and identity.

Boarders have the houses that they physically live in, but are all allocated School Houses along with all the day students, so they are fully integrated into the life of the School.

The Norman Cup and The Pearce Cup

Various competitions take place throughout the school year which involve either the whole House or a select group.  Not all House activities are ’sport’ based and all students get involved throughout the year.

The many inter – house competitions (sports, quizzes, chess, debating….) contribute towards the hotly contested Norman Cup (for Years 9-13) or the Pearce Cup (for Years 7-8) which are awarded at the end of the year.

Tutors

All students are in a tutor group, which is co-educational and year group based. Tutors play a crucial role in overseeing pastoral care and academic progress and are the first port of call for any problems or issues.  All students have regular sessions with tutors and their Houses each week.

There is also a Head of each Year who closely monitors day-to-day progress and is an essential point of contact.
