Enquiring with us is the first stage of the admission process.

To make your initial enquiry please either:

• Contact Sara Baldwin on 01344 772134
• Email [email protected]
• Complete an online enquiry form 

Following your enquiry we will send you an information pack and invite you to attend one of our Open Mornings or arrange a visit to the school to meet with the Head, Mr Ed Venables

Registering your child is the next stage of the admissions process. If you have visited us and would like to register your child, please complete the registration form as soon as possible. This will register your interest for your child in the required year group, although it is not a guarantee of a place. You can register your child to join Wellington College Prep by completing the Registration Form.

Following registration, your child can join us for a Taster Day so that they can experience a day in the life at Wellington College Prep. 

For children entering the Senior School the Taster Day may be followed by an overnight stay for those wishing to board. Children joining our Nursery and Junior School will be invited to join us for a Taster Session. The length of this session will depend on your child’s age.

Once we are in a position to offer your pupil a place we will contact you, this is normally done around one year in advance of their start date. At this point we will request confirmation from you that you definitely wish to take up the place. 

This is an agreement to the School's Terms and Conditions and involves the payment of the £1000 confirmation fee. A proportion of this is returned at the end of the pupil’s final term, subject to the terms and conditions. 

Wellington College Prep will request references from a pupil’s former school once the confirmation stage is completed and only once you have advised us that we may do so, this is to ensure that all is in order and for the School to get a clear picture of a child’s contribution and strengths. We will also request from you, copies of recent reports to assist with placing a new pupil in the correct groups for his or her lessons.
