Wellington School

Providing an excellent all-round education...

Welcome to Wellington School

Founded in 1837, Wellington School is a co-educational, day and boarding school set in a small town and surrounded by the beautiful Somerset countryside. We offer a strong academic curriculum, broad co-curricular opportunities, excellent pastoral care and a clear sense of values. Our Prep School and Senior School welcome pupils from 3-11 and 11-18.

We hope that you will visit us and feel the warmth, vibrancy and sense of purpose, which imbues our School.
