Give your children the school they deserve
Wellington School in Ayr is an independent day school which welcomes both girls and boys from age 3 to 18 at any stage in their educational journey.
Consisting of three impressive, turreted buildings overlooking the sea, Wellington offers children the best possible start in life through excellent teaching, high- quality pastoral care and a rich choice of extra- curricular activities.
Academically pupils at Wellington choose eight National 5 courses to study throughout S3 and S4, before going on to study five Higher courses in S5.
They then have access to a full range of 17 Advanced Highers and almost all pupils go on to a university or college of their choice.
The school is proud to maintain consistently excellent academic records at all levels.
A particular strength of the school is the smooth transition between the junior and senior stages. Special arrangements in Primary 7 allow pupils to spend half their academic week with specialist senior school teachers, extending learning at an earlier age and providing an easier integration into senior school life.
The school holds international status, an accolade awarded by the British Council which sees international education embedded in the curriculum at all stages.
As a result pupils have access to a wide range of opportunities to broaden their horizons and forge meaningful links with other countries.
In October a group of 20 seniors visited Wellington’s partner school in Jaipur, India, and Wellington is currently leading an Erasmus+ project based on astronomy which involves young people from six schools across Europe.
Pupils grow in confidence from these experiences and a number of recent former pupils have gone on to study or work overseas.
Wellington pupils throw themselves into school life and simply
“get involved”.
Wh Whether h it i be b in the classroom on the sports field or performing on stage, our pupils work hard, support one another and achieve more than they ever thought was possible.
Prospective families are invited to two open events on Monday, November 11, from 2- 4pm and Tuesday, November 12, from 5- 7pm. They can experience a warm Wellington welcome and find out about the wealth of opportunities the school offers.
