Exam Results

As ever, the Summer Term brought with it many of the best things about Wellington: Speech Day, Graduation, Maniacs, and long lazy days on Turf. But into the mix this year came slight unease, as the students prepared to sit public tests for the first time since the pandemic reared its ugly head. Few of our students had ever had the experience of formal exams, but their hard work, and the commitment and professionalism of their teachers, ensured that there was nothing to worry about.

The results across the board were simply stunning: GCSEs, A Levels and IB all passed at or near record levels, proving once more that whatever else a Wellington education offers, it is based on high level study and academic rigour.

While all Fifth Formers take GCSEs, Wellington College is one of the few schools in the UK that offers its Sixth Form pupils the choice between A Levels and the International Baccalaureate. James Dahl, Master of Wellington was justifiably proud, and congratulated all the pupils on their achievement.
