    An impressive education institution on stunning, historic grounds. I'm proud to be part of the Wellington family of schools (international).

    Impressive school but definetively dodgy, unfair and dubious admissions process. I am not going to give details here, but unless you have connections and money your kid will not be admitted. They don’t provide feedback from the process, because clearly they cannot explain how a top student in all aspects is not admitted unless it was because the parent click the option of needing financial help. They are a private company and they are in their rights to accept whoever they wish but please do not promote fairness and non discriminatory treatment, when you do not comply with this.

    Went to the Festival of Education. Lovely facilities and the students there seem to be well rounded individuals.

    My Alma Mater, my son playing in prep school orchestra today. Violin sounded wonderful in the theatre there (130 children in total). I was able to briefly see the Chapel, and my house Stanley. Wearing the old school tie.
