WELLINGTON School is delighted to announced it has been shortlisted for prestigious annual awards.

The school has been nominated for gongs in two categories at the Independent Schools of the Year Awards; the independent co-educational school of the year and the independent prep school of the year.

The awards are designed to give independent schools like Wellington an opportunity to celebrate and showcase their achievements, and this year has been no exception.

A spokesperson for the school said: “The experience which independent schools provide to their students is inspiring and the stories told in the entries are both moving and humbling.

“In this year of likely deep-seated political change, it is more important than ever that the valuable contribution made by the independent sector is recognised.

“Reading through the 2024 entries, the judges were particularly struck by the work that schools undertake in partnership with the maintained sector throughout the UK. Supporting the educational aspirations of young people from all backgrounds is at the heart of their mission.

“These awards are added to the already burgeoning number of awards the school has been shortlisted for and won over the past year, and the school is delighted that their achievements across so many areas is being recognised nationally.”
