Wrekin College
is a busting, spacious, friendly and purposeful 11 to 18 co-educational Boarding and Day School. It is an Independent Public School, on the edge of the market Town of Wellington in Shropshire, with excellent rail and motorway links.
Wrekin College, founded by Sir John Bayley in 1880, stands proudly in one hundred acres of games fields and gardens. The larger part of the estate was purchased in 1915 from the Duke of Sutherland who, until the outbreak of the Great War, had used Lilleshall Hall as a shooting venue.
The pursuit of excellence remains the aim of the School. In recent years Wrekin was fortunate to have Sarah Ryan named the BBC's Choir Girl of the Year; Laura Timmins, a member of the Park Wrekin College Gymnastics Club, became the Senior British Gymnastics Champion in 1991 and two years or so ago, Captain Martin Bellamy who left in the 1980s rowed the Atlantic with an Army colleague.
The 'School in the Garden' has many facilities second to none, a Theatre, an Art School, a Sports Hall and cricket square which, on occasion, hosts games at county level to name but a few.
Wrekin College, a small friendly school owes much of its success to the fact that it has moved with the times and continues to adapt to the demands of our rapidly changing world.
