the wellington college year book 2010/2011
Wellington Academy
Wiltshire
from being a failing school in the bottom
10% nationally overall and in the bottom 5%
nationally for value added into a thriving school
of 600 pupils where the number of pupils
achieving five gcses rose from 39% to 98% in
one year. The school caters for children from
eleven to sixteen, 40% of whom were from
army families. It was the first rural Academy
and will be the first to offer boarding.
We hope that all of these changes and
developments will enable Wellington to
provide the all-round education for life that
lies at the heart of its aptitudinal approach,
and will also ensure that College remains
a place that truly transforms the lives of all
those connected with it. The next five years
promise to be truly exciting and innovative.
