Our teachers have varied and interesting backgrounds in education as well as other industries and career paths. To put it mildly, they boast
an extremely wide range of professional experiences and lifelong
passions. We have teachers who have played football for England, cricket
for Scotland, an ex-tennis pro, and even a professional boxer. There
are two-time Olympic swimmers, qualified ski coaches and even a
trampoline coach, Hollywood film casters, London bankers, linguists,
cryptographers, mechanical engineers who sang with the London Symphony
Chorus, computer programmers, photojournalists and animal behaviour
specialists. They have published various historical works, analysed
forgotten ancient scripts and languages, they have even been chased by
the odd hippo. From kayaking over 300 km through the heart of Sayan
Mountains in Siberia to travelling the globe teaching, learning and
exploring, our teachers have achieved unbelievable things, and we have
not even mentioned what they do in the classroom.
Every Wellington College teacher is a highly skilled practitioner, driven by a love of their subject and wider interests, and a genuine
desire to inspire the pupils in their care. They are usually English
native-speakers, except for our various language teachers, all
fully-qualified, and have the experience of teaching at leading schools
in their home countries and abroad. Most importantly, they are
completely committed to their responsibility of enabling every
Wellington pupil to discover and unlock their full potential.
