This booklet is designed to be an easy reference
point for much of the information you will need
as a Wellington parent to support your child or
your children.
I am delighted that you have chosen Wellington
College International Shanghai. Our aim is to
be the best international school in Shanghai and
ultimately one of the world’s best. I am confident
that we can and we will meet this ambition.
The very best education is built on strong
partnerships between school and home, so you
will have a big role to play in helping us provide a
world-class experience for all our pupils.
We take great pride in our deep roots and
strong links to one of England’s greatest schools.
We are also proud of our internationalism,
celebrating our pupils’ and families’ backgrounds
all over the world. Shanghai is a vibrant, exciting
city at the very heart of the world’s economic
and social development. We respect and enjoy
the rich, historic Chinese culture and all that
Shanghai can offer our pupils.
We are privileged to have such a wonderful
College, such a new environment for learning
and such great pupils. I hope you enjoy seeing
your children become Wellingtonians.
Wellington is growing, but we will always be
small enough to provide a personal experience
Eleanor Prescott
tailored to the needs of each pupil and each
Principal
family. This booklet should answer many of
the questions you may have, but I would also
encourage you to contact us whenever you
need guidance and support. Parents of Early
Years, Pre-Prep and Lower Prep pupils will
usually contact their class teacher, who will know
your child very well. Upper Prep and Senior
School pupils have a housemaster who will
provide support and advice to pupils and families
throughout their time at Wellington.
Wellington College International Shanghai is a
very special school. Our Wellington Identity
and Values provide the starting points for an
education that we know will prepare our pupils
for happy, productive adulthoods.
