COMMUNICATION
HOW WE
COMMUNICATE
Wellington College is a supremely busy,
ambitious and stimulating environment, with a
great deal going on. At Wellington, we strive
to keep our parents up to date with everything
that is happening in the College, whether it
be your child’s latest report, or an upcoming
concert. Not only do we have a variety of places
for you to find our latest news, either on social
media, our app, website, or newsletters, but we
also encourage you to keep in touch with us as
well, all of our teachers’ emails can be found on
the website, as well as our numerous services,
such as buses, uniforms and the Academy
Programme. We aim to ensure no parent feels
left out. Parents are encouraged to contact the
school by email whenever they have a concern
or query. For any questions regarding your son
or daughter’s academic or pastoral welfare,
the first point of contact is the housemaster in
the Senior and Upper Prep schools or the class
teacher in the Lower Prep, Pre-Prep and Early
Years.
