Head's welcome
Wellingborough Senior School is a very special place. Our mission is to develop confident, rounded, and grounded young people, and I am proud to say that The School has been doing that successfully throughout its extensive history.
Blessed with an enviable location, superb teaching and pastoral care, and a deeply embedded culture of kindness and ambition, Wellingborough delivers a first-class education within and beyond the classroom. Every day, our pupils demonstrate the qualities that we know will set them apart as the change-makers of the future – intellectual curiosity, courage, empathy, dedication, and humility, and all whilst retaining that most crucial element of a truly enriching education: a sense of fun.
At Wellingborough we value the individual and recognise that each pupil has different needs, enthusiasms, and priorities. We are deeply committed to supporting our young people through the journey from young teenagers to young adults, and the process of growth and development that underpins the crucial years of Senior School.
To fully appreciate all that Wellingborough has to offer a visit is essential, so please contact us to book a Private Tour or attend one of our upcoming open events. I can promise you a very warm welcome.
Pupils are well supported in their acquisition of new knowledge, skills and understanding. Lessons are well planned with a clear understanding of the aptitudes, needs and prior attainment of pupils.

Sports
At Wellingborough School we offer a wealth of sporting activities which form an integral part of school life. We strive to offer pupils every opportunity to enjoy sport and to experience success. Those who have the desire to excel and those who just wish to participate, benefit from expert coaching and positive sporting experiences.
Beyond the classroom
Our Co-Curricular programme blends inside the classroom with outside the classroom and is an extremely important part of the life and ethos of Wellingborough School. Pupils can choose from a wide variety of co-curricular activities, which aim to accommodate all abilities and most interests, at lunchtimes, after school and at weekends- so you can be sure to find something that suits you!
