WELLINGTON School's students have shown their academic potential once again by achieving another excellent set of GCSE results.

These results come shortly after the school’s outstanding A Level outcomes, with both sets of grades well above national averages.

This year, the number of top grades (9-7) has increased by 10 per cent compared to last year with nearly 15 per cent of all grades at the highest level 9, and about one-third at levels 9 and 8.

More than 10 per cent of students earned seven or more top grades, with four students achieving seven or more grade 9s.

Wellington School has also been recognised nationally lately by being judged the 'Best Independent Day and Boarding School in Somerset' (Private Education Awards 2024) and being a finalist in the upcoming Independent Schools Awards for Best Co-educational School and Best Prep School.

These achievements are thanks to the school's dedicated teachers and a supportive environment where students feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore, collaborate, and aim high.

Alex Battison, new headmaster of Wellington School, said: “In a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, our community is pioneering the ways and means to enable our young people to flourish.

“Rather than the status quo in all schools (which typically views education as preparation for a known future) we believe in creating the space and self-belief that inspires our students to create their futures, and to view the present as a site of vibrant possibility for doing so.

“It is clear that Wellington students are rising to this challenge and we are so proud of them all'.
