The Somerset school will be hosting an open day online to give prospective students a taste of what they can expect at Wellington
We are living in strange times and schools are empty. However, Wellington School is looking forward to the time when it can welcome visitors back and showcase what makes the School such a special place.
In the meantime, there will be the School’s very first Virtual Open Day on September 26th - your invitation is here.
A couple of days before the event, visitors will receive via email the link to explore the specially-constructed Open Day site, with talks from key staff, a virtual tour of the School and the opportunity to “meet” some pupils as well.
There won’t be as much delicious home-made cake on offer as usual, but this should offer a glimpse into the delightful and friendly Wellington community.
You can register for the day here.
