Currently 205 pupils take the IB Diploma. 80% are from the UK and the rest from a range of countries worldwide, which sets us apart from competitors who tend to have smaller programmes attracting only international pupils. This true British-International mix amongst our IB students is a great strength.
In 2025 we had 123 Diploma students with 50% scoring 40+ points. Ten students went to Oxbridge or Ivy League, and 58 to one of the 'big six': St. Andrews, Edinburgh, UCL, Imperial, Durham or LSE. Over 100 Wellingtonians were offered places at Oxford or Cambridge over the past five years and 20-25 pupils move to US universities each year, many to Ivy League institutions.
The high academic expectations we have for our pupils are expressed through encouragement and support – nearly 40% of teachers have Masters or Doctorates and all are specialists. Wellington College introduced the IB Diploma Programme in 2007. Its philosophy – of combining academic rigour with breadth and depth – is very much in sympathy with our own.
A wide range of subjects is offered and support for the IB Core – the Extended Essay, TOK, and CAS – is truly world class, combining academic expertise with outstanding opportunities and resources. Wellington actively promotes excellence without compromising the ideals embedded within the IB's learner profile.
Subjects offered in the IB Diploma Programme are all at both HL and SL unless stated: Group 1: English Literature, German Literature, German Language and Literature.
