Applicants will be expected to have outstanding IGCSE results or the equivalent. * We wish to give the opportunity of a Wellington education to outstanding pupils whose families would not be able to afford our full fees.

Scanned copies of the personal statement should be submitted to the Admissions Office by email to admissions.shanghai@wellingtoncollege.cn.  Successful candidates will be invited to a scholarship assessment day which will be held at the school shortly after the submission deadline.   Discover Wellington In the Senior School at Wellington, our principal objective is to inspire curiosity, creativity and compassion among our pupils. We aim to enrich our pupils’ lives with an enjoyment and understanding of our global scientific, linguistic and cultural heritage, while also empowering them with the knowledge, skills and independence of mind to make them effective and responsible leaders of the future. In years 10 and 11, pupils work towards IGCSE qualifications in a wide variety of subjects. This builds on the solid foundation developed during their time in year 9. In the sixth form (years 12 and 13) pupils study the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). This is the world’s premier university entrance qualification.
