What classes you give all at Wellington College isit for after matric

Wellington College's campus is simply breathtaking!

Unbelievable place. I want to go back to school and I hated school.

The Match Teas are OUTSTANDING!....see you next Season

My father (Graham Meikle) was a teacher there from 1939 to 1971 when he retired. Lived on the estate all my childhood and remember the space and lovely woods not forgetting the outside swimming pool. It was like one huge garden.

My experience of Wellington has been first class. It is wonderful to participate as an artist in the current festival and to engage with the College. A talented group of purposeful professionals , it is an honour to be involved .

It's the best. So innovative, inclusive and adventurous.

I really miss Wellington College.

My favorite city Wellington.

I really miss Wellington College Crow thorn

It’s a state of art huge campus.

I miss the yummy meals too.

I dream to go back and spend some more time there

I had not visited Wellington for about 30 years and I wanted to visit to see how it compared now with my time there in the Talbot. I entered college in 1949.



Life was a little brutal in my day with fagging, and been beaten for trivial offences

being part of the routine.



Now this does not happen, and it was beneficial to see girls being there as full members of the community.



I was impressed how well the students dressed and how polite they were. They all also seemed to be happy.



Apart from many new buildings and activities the place seemed more comfortable. For example many of the draughty corridors had been lined with glass.



Everywhere seemed to be scrupulously clean and tidy.The only thing I missed were the rhododendrons. There were always an attractive feature when approaching Great Gate.



All in all it was an excellent day out. Chris Potter who accompanied us was extremely kind and helpful and made an excelled host.



Thank you to all concerned.

I came here for a training and I must say that it was an impressive locale.

I attended The Thames Hospice Carol Concert yesterday evening. It was a wonderfully joyous evening and set in the beautiful chapel of Wellington College. It was definitely a night to remember.

Had a great deal presenting on climate change and how education can use sport to increase literacy around this. We were made to feel very comfortable and the students were incredibly open to discussion and debate.

Great venue for a sporting event - beautiful grounds!

Great food , big shout to ivon nikita and all of the staff

An incredible institution which gave my children the best possible start in life, not only from an academic and sporting perspective where success is based wholly on the grounds of reaping the rewards of hard work, but also from the perspective of being exposed to so many other fields where every peer's own individual strengths and talents are also respected. Grounded, good citizens who all give back to society - proud to be Parents of Old Wellingtonians.

Amazing school! Thanks for everything. It was a great start on life
