Wellington College is set in 400 acres of beautiful parkland and is home to a blend of breath taking original architecture and modern state-of-the-art facilities to provide the best possible educational environment for our pupils.
A wonderful fusion of heritage and modernity characterises our educational philosophy. Our curriculum, facilities, and teaching methods are constantly adapting to the challenges of preparing young people for the ever-changing world of the 21st century.
Meet the Master
James Dahl was appointed 15th Master of Wellington College in September 2019. Prior to that he was Second Master Elect as well as Deputy Head Pastoral, having served previously as Director of Admissions & Marketing at the College since 2013.
"Wellington College is a place like no other and our mission is to provide an education like no other. This was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s vision when they founded the school in 1853 and this desire to pioneer, to do things differently, and to make Wellington the most inspiring and interesting place to live and learn burns as brightly today as it did when our first pupils arrived.
Wellington College’s international aspirations date back over 15 years. We have been working with our first international partner since 2009 when we planned our first school in Tianjin which opened in 2011.
It is really important that our family of schools are not a clone of Wellington College, but from that shared ethos and vision they deliver exceptional quality education uniquely tailored to their communities. It is through this that we have also brought vividly to life a dialogue between different pedagogies – which now delivers so much enrichment to the intellectual and cultural development of our students and their communities across the whole educational network.
I can think of no better way for us to deliver our purpose of pioneering education to help serve and shape a better world than by sharing the very best of Wellington College here in the UK with passionate and progressive partners around the world in the Wellington College Education network."
