WELLINGTON COLLEGE CHINA WELLINGTON ACADEMY PROGRAMME VISION AND MISSION The Wellington Academy Programme seeks to provide Wellington pupils, and those from the wider community, a fantastic opportunity to learn, develop and play in a way that promotes the Wellington identity and values. By engaging in our programmes pupils will have the opportunity to imbue the Wellington Values of: Courage, Respect, Integrity, Kindness and Responsibility. The programmes aim to develop the Wellington Identity that comprises developing pupils that are: Inspired, Intellectual, Independent, Individual and Inclusive. To achieve this aim, the Wellington Academy Prorgammes are structured around the Wellington Aptitude model of education. This ensures that the offer in the Wellington Academy is consistent with all our colleges. Our aim is to make use of the world class facilities we have here in a Wellington campus so that pupils do not have to leave the setting that their parents know and trust in order to have access to all of the after school sports and activities they wish. Pupils will be taught by coaches and teachers with incredible experience and expertise. Many of our coaches and teachers have reached the absolute pinnacle in their chosen fields and we are proud that they can share their experience with Academy students. Parents bring their children into the college from outside the Wellington community because they want their children to experience the best on offer – from the expertise of our coaches and teachers, through to the outstanding facilities and resources on site. Our innovative programme continues to grow and develop in order to ensure offer the very best experience to all our pupils and families. 44 45
