Academic Excellence at Wellington College Hangzhou Senior

In senior school, our pupils are making incredibly rapid progress. In the recent external examinations, 74% of our pupils are achieving better than predicted, and 67% are making better progress than children in other schools.

English results are also pleasing. I am glad to report that 90% of our pupils are at least in line with their UK counterparts, with an impressive 53% making progress better than UK school pupils. Contextually for a school where the majority of our cohort are not English first language speakers, this is a reflection of the hard work of our pupils plus the great work of their excellent teachers.

Science results are equally pleasing, with pupils reaching or exceeding their target for the year as the norm, with 66% of our cohort across all year groups making above-expected progress.

Our Chinese Department is also excelling. 95% of our native Chinese pupils and 100% of our non-native Chinese pupils have made very good progress over the past year, with Chinese being the highest performing Year 10 mock examination average result. 

Overall our results show that almost every pupil makes at least expected progress, and the majority of our pupils, in all year groups, are making better than expected progress. Over half of our pupil cohort have increased by at least one grade in a year with us, and almost 25% have secured two grades of improvement in the core subjects. These statistics are fantastic and indicative of our growth as a school and more positive steps on our journey to becoming the international school of first choice in Hangzhou.
