Curriculum

Primary School

We pride ourselves in knowing every pupil in the school and their individual talents. Understanding that every child is unique, our curriculum is designed to meet all children’s needs for life in the 21st Century, and includes strong academic, sporting and performing art themes. Children are encouraged to become life-long learners, to have a love for learning, as preparation for life in our ever-changing global society.

The Primary School curriculum is designed to ensure that there is a strong connection across all areas of learning. Pupils will study English, maths, sciences, arts, Chinese and realise personal and social development through the very highest standards as set by the English national curriculum and that from around the world.

Each theme introduces pupils to global perspectives, which ensures pupil learning is transferable between subjects and languages. This deepens learning and sets the very strongest foundations for success along the educational journey each child follows. Each theme is carefully selected and designed with specific reference to the needs of all pupils.

Wellington College’s curriculum is skills and knowledge based, providing exciting and challenging learning opportunities steeped in real life experiences, devised to establish the characteristics, and aptitudes needed to excel in all areas across the Junior school. We seek to provide every opportunity for children to apply literacy, numeracy and information technology skills across their learning in addition to co-operative group work and presentation skills.

Senior School

Pupils in the Senior School follow a rigorous academic programme that is designed to challenge them, with the finest elements of a modern British curriculum, framed within our international location to meet the needs of all our learners. We believe that Wellingtonians will emerge from the school fully equipped to deal with skills required to succeed in the 21^st century. Our pupils will be genuine lifelong learners, with an understanding of the importance of personal growth and social responsibility as a result of the academic rigour and core values we embed through our classroom practice, pupil leadership and extra-curricular opportunities.

Pupils in Years 7-9 follow the English national curriculum with an international flavour whenever possible to provide context for our pupils from across the globe. Pupils study individual subjects, with specialist teachers and they develop practical skills in science, DT, ICT and art, as well as preparing themselves for the next stage in their education – the IGCSE examinations.

 

Pupils in Years 10 and 11 prepare for these internationally acclaimed examinations for 16-year-olds through a two-year course of study. All pupils undertake Mathematics, English, Chinese and Science, as core subjects, but also study optional subjects including humanities, the arts, PE and languages. 

Sixth Form

At Wellington College Hangzhou Sixth Form we are proud to offer the highly regarded A Level (Advanced Level) academic programme, which is an English qualification that is recognised across the globe for being excellent preparation for university. 

 

Pupils will choose three subjects to study over the two years, from the age of 16 to 18. As there are no compulsory subjects, pupils are encouraged to choose their academic passions. With only three subjects to study, learners become specialists in these areas as they cover each in far greater depth than a broader curriculum would allow.

 

The pathway to university is high priority for us, so much so that it is a taught formally from the age of 14. Pupils will learn about different university systems, entry requirements and student life, as well as receiving one-to-one guidance on how to choose a suitable course and step by step support with the application process.
