SCHOOL UNIFORM
Wellington College International Shanghai
has a uniform policy which all pupils and
parents need to adhere to. We believe that
our school uniform promotes a sense of
pride in our school and solidarity between
pupils. School uniforms are expected to the
pupil appropriately, be cleaned on a regular
basis, and cannot deviate from the style and
colour choices. Pupils are expected to present
themselves in a neat, clean, and professional
manner at all times.
Sensible adherence to this policy is the
responsibility of everyone in the school
community. Parents, guardians, carers, staff
and pupils themselves all have a role to play
in making it work.
The school uniform and sports kits are
available exclusively from the uniform shop
on the second floor of the sports hall which
carries the complete line of pupils’ uniforms
and PE kits. Specific uniform requirements
can be found on the website.
The uniform shop is open during term time
on Monday and Friday mornings, and Tuesday
to Thursday afternoons.
Pupils are permitted to wear informal
dress of their own choice at specified times,
such clothing should be suitable for a
co-educational environment.
Pre-Nursery to Year 11 HAIR

The sixth form pupils have the privilege
and distinction of not being obliged to wear

They are still expected, however, to present

our school. Boys are expected to wear a suit
or equivalent (e.g. formal jacket and trousers).
Ties are compulsory. Girls are expected to

The only acceptable forms of jewellery may
include one or more of the following:

or sleepers worn in the lower ear lobes.

FOOTWEAR
Black, leather shoes are to be worn by all
pupils during the school day. Shoes must not

and must be kept clean and polished.
For all sporting and performing arts activities,
specific footwear for each discipline must be
worn. For example; football boots for football
and rugby, training shoes with non-marking
soles for court sports and athletics etc.
Pupils are expected to have a sufficient
number of each of the compulsory uniform
items so that items can be regularly
laundered. A full uniform list for each of the
different schools is available online and in the
joining information. Every item of clothing
must be clearly marked with the pupil’s name.

RMB 32.00 and provides one of the
following lunch options:

This information is for the main dining hall
only (not early years). All pupils are required
to eat school lunches, except for those who
have special reasons, such as religious or
medical reasons. Any reason for not being
able to eat school lunches will require official
documentation and permission from the
Head of School. Pupils in year 3 and above
have lunch on a rota system in the dining hall
collecting food on trays from a central server.
Pupils in years 1 and 2 will eat in the main
dining hall with lunch being served at the
table. Pupils in reception and below have
lunch in the Early Years dining hall located in
the main building close to their classrooms.
Parents are encouraged to provide a healthy
and filling mid-morning snack for their
child(ren). Please be aware that Wellington
is a nut free school and therefore foods
containing nuts are not permitted.
LUNCH FEES
The lunch fees can be settled either annually,
termly or by parents making regular top
ups. Upon a payment being made to Aden
Services, a credit is registered onto a pupil’s
identity card and this is swiped every day for
lunch consumption.
The suggested top-up amount is RMB 32.00
per day and can be paid termly or annually
(RMB 2,464 for 1st term and RMB 5,760
annually). Credit can be added to lunch
accounts at a later date. Pupils can spend the
credit to purchase snacks at morning break
(Senior school only) and at the V&A café
at certain times of the day. A print out of
expenditure can be obtained upon request
from the V&A Café.
Aden Services are responsible for issuing a
fapiao for the lunch fees, it will take them
between 2-4 weeks to produce. At the time
of paying the lunch fee, please complete a
fapiao request form.
If there is any credit remaining on the pupil’s
ID card at th e end of the academic year, the
balance can be carried forward to the next
academic year. Alternatively, a refund can be
processed by Aden Services.
FOOD COMMITTEE
We have a food committee that consists
of parents and staff representatives. The
food committee offers all parties the chance
to feedback directly to Aden Services and
regular surveys are taken and acted upon.
Pupils also get an opportunity to provide
feedback via the student council.
