Introduction

Wellington College International Hangzhou opened in 2018 and is located in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou (2399 Xue Zhi Road). The school follows a British-style curriculum: the Primary phase uses the English National Curriculum with international elements, pupils move to IGCSE courses (Years 10–11) and then to a two‑year A Level Sixth Form (Years 12–13). The campus includes a dedicated programme of co-curricular activities (the Wellington Academy Programme) and runs the Duke of Edinburgh's Award; the school also publishes a downloadable bilingual fee schedule and an admissions contact for visits and enquiries. The school publishes an on-site nursery link for early years and identifies English-language teaching with weekly Chinese lessons across Key Stages; the campus and programme information (including bus service details and the fee schedule) are available from the school site.

The Essentials

Wellington College International Hangzhou has 330 pupils, instruction in English.

Location
Wellington College International Hangzhou is on Xue Zhi Road in Xiaoshan District (2399 Xue Zhi Road). The campus is a short walk from Zhixing Road metro station (Line 19) and is within easy drive of Xiaoshan International Airport and Hangzhou's main railway stations; the school's website notes journey times such as <10 minutes to the airport and about 30 minutes to West Lake.

Stages
The school is organised into Primary (Years 1–6), Senior (Years 7–11, with Years 10–11 following IGCSE courses) and a Sixth Form for post-16 study (A Levels). The published age map and FAQs show admissions from Year 1 upward while the Senior/Sixth Form provision is being phased in as the school grows.

Type
Wellington Hangzhou is co‑educational. The campus operates primarily as a day school; recent school materials and news also refer to a growing boarding provision (boarding houses such as “Ming House” are mentioned), so boarding places are available to some pupils.

Additional learning support
The school provides pastoral care and a Learning Support provision: the pastoral/learning‑support model works with teachers, parents and, where needed, external specialists to support pupils with additional needs. Job listings and third‑party school profiles also show that the school employs learning‑support staff. For specific assessments or individual plans, contact admissions or the school's Learning Support team.

Country affiliation
Wellington College International Hangzhou is part of the Wellington College Education (China) family and the wider Wellington family of schools (a network with historical roots in the UK Wellington College). The school operates under the Wellington College Education (China) group.

Religious affiliation
There is no formal religious affiliation listed on the school's website for the Hangzhou campus.

School day structure
Published information indicates the school day begins in the early morning (around 08:00–08:30 is given in publicly available profiles) and that dismissal times differ by phase: the school has separate finish times for Primary and Senior pupils (examples reported include primary departures around 15:50 and junior/senior departures around 16:15). Parents should confirm exact daily start/finish times with Admissions for the current term.

Bus service
The school runs a daily school‑bus network with a local, licensed operator; routes are split between Primary and Senior services. Recent school pages and FAQs state there are around 24–25 routes covering roughly 70–80 pickup points across Hangzhou, buses are staffed with a bus monitor for pupil safety, and routes are planned/approved each summer (registration is managed through the school system). Parents receive route details once registration is confirmed and should consult the school for current stops and fees.

Other costs and optional services

- College bus service (optional): [RMB 22,660] per year. Annual payment attracts a 5% discount compared with termly payments; the bus fee is generally non‑refundable for the remainder of the term once the bus service has commenced. Termly figures and route lists are published by the school.
- Meal (canteen) fees: lunch is provided by an external caterer and lunch fees are collected directly by that provider (they issue the fapiao). Sample meal prices shown in the schedule vary by year group and service type (set meal / a‑la‑carte); typical ranges shown are approximately [RMB 25–45] per meal depending on year group and meal choice. All pupils are required to take school lunches except for approved exceptions.

Refund information and related terms

- Application fee: non‑refundable.
- Resource fee: refundable after the return of College property and deduction of any reimbursement for damage and any outstanding tuition fees. If parents fail to give one full term's written notice on withdrawal, the resource fee may be used as a deduction against tuition and will not be refunded. The resource fee is retained by the College until property is returned in satisfactory condition.
- Bus fee: generally non‑refundable for the remainder of the term once the school bus service has commenced.
- Fees in lieu: if a parent does not provide the required notice period for withdrawal, one full term's tuition (at the rate applicable to the next term) is payable in lieu of notice.

Fee payment options and invoicing

- Invoicing and fapiao: once tuition fees are received the school issues an official VAT fapiao (issued to the child or the name of the payer; corporate payments are invoiced in the name of the company). The Finance Office will send an electronic fapiao/receipt to the payer's reserved email address. The resource fee is refundable and therefore no fapiao is issued for it.
- Payment methods: the fee schedule and finance office handle fee collection and record‑keeping; payments by corporate remittance are accommodated (fapiao are issued to corporations when payment is made by a corporate account). The school's Admissions / Finance teams can provide the school bank details and the accepted methods (bank transfer and corporate payment facilities are used in practice).

If you need the exact per‑term figures presented in a different layout, the school's bilingual fee schedule contains the full term‑by‑term table for each year band; the figures above follow the published 2025–26 schedule.
Academics

Wellington College International Hangzhou teaches British Curriculum, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A Levels for students aged 5 to 18.

Curriculum
The school follows an English-style curriculum across stages: Primary School is based on the English national curriculum and includes English, mathematics, sciences, the arts, Chinese and personal and social development. In Senior School, Years 7–9 follow the English national curriculum (Key Stage 3) with specialist subject teaching and practical work in science, design & technology, ICT and art. Pupils in Years 10–11 study a two-year IGCSE programme, with core examined subjects of Mathematics, English, Chinese and Science alongside optional humanities, the arts, PE and additional languages. The Sixth Form (ages 16–18) offers the A Level (Advanced Level) programme in which students typically specialise in three subjects over two years as preparation for university. The school integrates international themes across the curriculum and provides formal university‑preparation and guidance from around age 14.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Wellington College International Hangzhou teaches wellbeing as a formal, compulsory subject—introduced across the Wellington family in 2006—and describes the curriculum as a positive-education programme that teaches pupils the skills to ‘flourish' (health, relationships, living in the wider world). Lessons draw on PSHE-style material and positive-education principles and are designed to build resilience, character and interpersonal skills. Pastoral provision notes that, in Years 1–9, class teachers and tutors deliver the wellbeing programme as part of routine pastoral care. The school also states that wellbeing is supported by additional services such as counselling, mentoring and coaching. These descriptions are presented on the school's wellbeing and pastoral pages.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school's published material notes the presence of special educational needs officers and other inclusion-related staff and states that there is a named Director of Pupil Support on the teaching team. However, the website does not set out a detailed list of the specific types of special educational needs it can support, nor does it describe the campus as a specialist SEN institution. For further detail on individual pupil needs and formal SEN pathways you would need to contact the college directly.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Wellington College Hangzhou offers English as an examinable subject (reported IGCSE/A‑Level EAL results are published on the site) and the school's staff pages and news items highlight teachers with specific EAL experience and leadership. The website therefore shows EAL as part of the curriculum offer and that staff with EAL expertise are on the team. The public pages do not, however, provide a detailed description of a discrete, school-wide EAL support programme (for example entry-level ‘New to English' pathways or specific EAL intervention tiers). For programme-level details, the school asks enquirers to contact them directly.

Mental Wellbeing
The school describes wellbeing as an essential, curriculum-based element intended to develop emotional resilience and life skills; the wellbeing page explains the programme's aims and core themes (health and wellbeing, relationships, living in the wider world). The pastoral page and school news also state that pupils can access counselling, mentoring, coaching and links to external mental-health professionals as required. The school reports regular wellbeing teaching time and formative monitoring (for example teacher check-ins and wellbeing assessments) as part of its approach. For individual or clinical mental-health support arrangements the website indicates the school works with in-house and external specialists and advises contacting the college for specifics.

Safeguarding
The school states it operates a comprehensive Child Safeguarding Programme embedded across operations, with staff trained to identify pupils who may require support and to respond appropriately. The site specifies there is a trained team of Designated Safeguarding Leads who are the primary contacts for safeguarding matters, and that new staff undergo enhanced pre-employment checks (identity, criminal background, qualification and employment checks). The published safeguarding statement emphasises the college's commitment to child welfare and the expectation that staff uphold safeguarding standards. For the full safeguarding policies and contact details of the designated leads the website directs readers to the school's safeguarding page or to contact the college.
Parent Experience

History
Wellington College International Hangzhou opened in 2018 and is part of the Wellington College Education network. The school operates within Wellington College Education (China) (WCEC), a group that oversees a family of Wellington schools and uses a multi-layered governance model (WCEC Executive Board plus School Affairs Boards and sub-committees). WCEC's expansion in China began with Wellington College International Tianjin in 2011 and continued with additional schools, including the Hangzhou campus in 2018. The school's governance structure and relationships to the wider Wellington network are described on the college website.

Community
The school community includes an organised parents-and-staff group called Friends of Wellington (FOW) that meets regularly and helps connect families, staff and school leadership. FOW runs social and cultural activities listed on the site, including an International Food Fair, Winter Fair, Summer Festival, shopping trips and evening events for parents, and it works with the school on charitable activities that involve pupils. The school presents FOW as a central element of campus life and provides a contact route for parents who want to join or learn more.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
Friends of Wellington (FOW) serves as the school's parent–teacher association, representing parents, teachers and other members of the Wellington community and meeting regularly to plan activities. The group organises named events such as the International Food Fair, Winter Fair and Summer Festival, coordinates shopping trips and parent evenings, and collaborates with the school on charitable programmes that give pupils opportunities for service. The website emphasises that FOW brings diversity to the school calendar and welcomes parents to take on roles large or small; a contact email (hz-fow@wellingtoncollege.cn) is provided for those interested in joining. The school's governance pages also note Maya Tarabay Schisano as a founding member and past Events Chair/Chair of FOW, illustrating FOW's established role in school life and events. For practical involvement and current schedules, parents are directed to contact the FOW email or the school.

Reputation

Awards
Awards and external recognitions (from the school's website) awarded to the school (or the Hangzhou campus) in the past five years:

- COBIS Patron's Accredited membership with three Beacon Status awards (Governance, Values and Wellbeing) — awarded to Wellington College International Hangzhou as part of the COBIS accreditation process (August 2023); the Beacon Status awards recognise areas of outstanding practice identified in the COBIS report.

- Silver Standard, Carnegie Centre of Excellence in Mental Health in Schools — Wellington College Education (China) – Hangzhou was awarded the Silver Standard in the Carnegie Centre's ‘Further Education Mental Health Award' (listed on the Wellington College Education (China) site); the award indicates an externally assessed standard for provision of mental health support in school settings. (2022).

- Regional and national rankings in external school league tables and selections reported by the school: the Wellington College network page and the Hangzhou campus news note that the Hangzhou campus has been ranked among the leading international schools in Hangzhou and China by third‑party rankings (for example, the site reports that Wellington College International Hangzhou was listed as the top international school in Hangzhou and 30th overall in China on a national list, and that Wellington College Education (China) schools were recognised in Forbes China's annual selections). These items are published as external rankings on the school's website (2023–2025). If you'd like the exact source documents and dates for a particular ranking (Forbes, KingLead, Hurun etc.), I can extract those specific press items.

Notes and caveats:
- All entries above are taken from the school's own website and the Wellington College Education (China) site. Where the network site lists accreditations or awards, I have flagged which items are explicitly attributed to the Hangzhou campus on the publicly available pages.
- I did not include awards listed on the site that were explicitly given to other named schools in the group (for example, Hiba Academy items) or to individual staff, since you asked only for awards given to the school itself. If you want a complete list of group‑level awards (network‑wide) or individual recognitions, I can prepare that as well with direct links to each item.

Accreditations
Accreditations listed on the school's website (Wellington College International Hangzhou and the Wellington College Education (China) network):

- COBIS (Council of British International Schools) — Wellington College International Hangzhou is a COBIS Patron's Accredited member; COBIS membership and accreditation indicate the school has been inspected against a UK/British-international set of standards for governance, safeguarding, teaching and school management.

- A Level centre approval (Edexcel / A‑level certification) — the Wellington China site states that the Tianjin, Hangzhou and Nantong campuses are certified to offer A Level examinations; this means the Hangzhou campus is an authorised centre for UK A Level qualifications.

- LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) centre approval — the Wellington China accreditation information notes that Tianjin and Hangzhou campuses are certified to deliver LAMDA drama courses and examinations, which allows pupils to take recognised external drama qualifications on campus.

Notes on other accreditations shown on the Wellington College Education (China) accreditation page: the network site also lists International Baccalaureate (IB), Council of International Schools (CIS), Cambridge Assessment (including Cambridge Assessment English), Pearson Edexcel approval, the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), FOBISIA and the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award as accreditations/authorisations associated with the Wellington College Education (China) group. The school site makes clear which items apply to specific campuses (for example, IB authorisation and CIS reaccreditation are referenced for the Shanghai campus), so parents should check the relevant campus pages for campus‑specific authorisations.
Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial enquiry and campus visit — Submit the online enquiry form (or request a Teams/telephone introduction if you are overseas) to arrange a private campus tour and an introduction to the College. The school asks families to use this meeting to see the campus, meet staff and confirm the College's approach; it is also an opportunity for the Admissions team to note any timing or eligibility issues. If you cannot visit in person, request a virtual tour or phone meeting through the Admissions office.

2. Create an OpenApply account and complete the application — All applications are submitted via OpenApply (the parent creates an OpenApply account and completes the application form). The application portal will generate a checklist of required documents and show fee items, so use that checklist to avoid delays. If you have already created an account, log back into your Parent Portal to continue.

3. Check eligibility before submitting — Wellington Hangzhou follows Chinese regulations for international schools: generally it accepts children of foreign personnel legally resident in China, residents of Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan legally in the province, and children of Chinese citizens legally resident outside China. Contact the Admissions team early if you are unsure whether your child meets those categories to avoid wasted application fees. The Admissions office can confirm eligibility by phone or email.

4. Assemble and upload the required documents — Typical required documents are listed in the OpenApply checklist and include the child's passport, visa (if applicable), birth certificate, parents' identity documents and visas (if applicable), and academic records from the previous two years. Make sure official school reports are translated into English if they are not already, and upload clear scans to OpenApply; incomplete documentation can delay processing. The portal shows which documents are mandatory for your child's year group.

5. Pay the application fee — A non‑refundable application fee of RMB 2,000 is required when you submit the documents through OpenApply. Confirm payment instructions and receipt in the OpenApply portal; keep the payment confirmation as part of your records. Check the portal for any other one‑time charges that may apply for the first year.

6. Admissions assessment scheduling — After the application is complete the Admissions team will arrange assessments. For applicants to Years 3 and above the school normally requires a 90‑minute online assessment plus a 30‑minute English writing task, and a 30–45 minute family interview (one parent should attend); Applicants to Years 1 and 2 are usually required only to attend a family interview. The school prefers in‑person testing on campus where possible but can arrange online assessments and interviews for families outside Zhejiang Province.

7. Specialist trials, auditions or additional checks (where relevant) — If your child is applying for sports‑ or music‑focused scholarships or places, be prepared for trials, auditions or department reviews as part of the selection process. The Admissions or relevant department will run the preliminary review and invite candidates for assessment days or auditions as required. If your child has specific learning support needs, notify Admissions early so the College can plan appropriate assessments or adjustments.

8. Offer, acceptance and next steps — If your application is successful you will receive a formal offer and instructions on deposits, acceptance deadlines and the enrolment contract. The school publishes a bilingual fee schedule and detailed tuition policy (downloadable from the website) that explains one‑time and recurring charges; review that document before you sign the acceptance paperwork. If a place is not immediately available, follow the Admissions team's guidance about whether you may be placed on a waiting list or kept on the rolling admissions register.

Scholarships
Wellington College International Hangzhou runs a scholarship programme that includes Academic, Arts and Sports awards. Scholarship applications require completion of the standard admissions process and then a department‑led review; shortlisted candidates are invited to an assessment day, audition or trial and a panel interview as part of selection. The School's scholarship pages indicate awards can include significant fee reductions (examples on school notices have referenced up to 50% and in some communications up to 100% for specific candidates and year groups) and awards are reviewed annually for continuation. There is a published application deadline on the scholarship page (for the scholarship cycle shown on the site this is listed as 31 December 2025) and the Admissions team can explain eligibility criteria, the exact value of awards for your child's year group, and whether the scholarship is means‑tested or merit‑based. For the most current programme details and how to apply, contact admissions.wcih@wellingtoncollege.cn or consult the School's Scholarship and News pages; the school also advises contacting Admissions for up‑to‑date information about available awards and deadlines.

Waitlist
Wellington College International Hangzhou operates a rolling admissions process and, according to independent school listings, some year groups do maintain waiting lists when places are full. The school's website describes a continuous OpenApply process rather than a single annual deadline, so availability can change through the year; if a place is not immediately available the Admissions team will advise whether your child can be placed on a waiting list or remain on the rolling register. Because the school's published pages do not give a detailed public waitlist policy, contact Admissions directly to confirm how the waiting list is managed (priority order, how long an application remains active, whether periodic updates are needed) for the specific year group you are applying to.
