Wellington School, Ayr

Wellington School in Ayr is an independent day school for girls and boys between the ages of three and 18 years, with a focus on realising the full potential of every child in a warm and friendly environment. Consisting of three impressive turreted buildings overlooking the sea and adjacent to the broad expanse of Ayr’s Low Green, Wellington offers children the best possible start in life through excellent teaching, high quality pastoral care and a rich choice of extra-curricular activities. Wellington holds International School status, an accolade awarded by the British Council, which sees international education embedded in the curriculum at all stages. The school has an excellent academic record at Higher and Advanced Higher levels and almost all pupils go on to a university of their choice. Small class sizes are an excellent base from which pupils choose eight subjects to study in S3 and S4, whilst 18 subjects are offered at both Higher and Advanced Higher levels. Wellington School prides itself on the smooth transition between the Junior and Secondary stages, and special arrangements in P7 allow pupils to spend almost half their week with specialist Senior School teachers. Putting a strong emphasis on the individual, the success of the school is not wholly academic. Pupils hold prestigious awards both locally and nationally in art and music and the school is fortunate to count two former pupils as classical musicians of global renown. Wellington School welcomes pupils at any stage and offers a range of means-tested bursaries. Please do not hesitate to arrange an appointment to experience the school for yourself by contacting Marian Dunlop, Admissions Registrar.
