NATIONAL 5, HIGHER, ADVANCED HIGHER

Wellington School in Ayr is an independent day school which welcomes both girls and boys from age 3 to 18. 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 extracurricular 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 its Junior and Senior stages. Special arrangements in Primary 7 allow pupils to spend a percentage their academic week with specialist Senior School teachers, extending learning at an earlier age and providing an easier integration.

At Wellington, the importance of extracurricular activities is never underestimated, especially by its dedicated staff who provide an array of opportunities to pupils. From choral singing to netball, debating to drama – there is something exciting for everyone.

Pupils also have access to a wide range of opportunities to broaden their horizons and forge meaningful links with other countries. Last July, a group of 20 seniors pupils visited our partner school in Jaipur, India, where they took part in a range of activities.

In November, 36 pupils from S1-S3 spent a week on Exchange at the Mallinckrodtgymnasium, Dortmund, Germany to take part lessons and festive workshops. Our pupils grow in confidence from these experiences and several former pupils have gone on to study or work overseas.

Wellington pupils throw themselves into school life and simply “get involved”. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, on stage or engaging in online learning, our pupils work hard, support one another, and achieve more than they ever thought possible.

A new adventure beckons, and Wellington look forward to sharing that journey with you.
