Joy Qiao, Founder and Chair of Governors of Wellington College China (WCC), addressed all staff on 10th Anniversary celebrations stating:

International education and bilingual education have developed prosperously in China in the last decade from 2009 till 2019. From the first year to the tenth year, our original intention and aspiration that we are going to provide the best quality education have never changed!



Wellington College in England was founded by Queen Victoria in 1859 as a national monument to Britain's greatest military figure, the Duke of Wellington, who also served the country with distinction twice as Prime Minister. 160 years later, Wellington College is one of the most highly regarded schools in the United Kingdom and also one of its greatest educational institutions, providing pioneering, innovating and transforming education for girls and boys. This vibrant and popular co-educational day and boarding school has reached new heights in today's rapidly changing and interconnected world.


Since its foundation Wellington College China has established schools and kindergartens in Tianjin, Shanghai and Hangzhou to provide education for children aged three to eighteen, and is recognised as one of the most influential international education groups in China and beyond.

Taking "Inspired, Intellectual, Independent, Individual and Inclusive" as the Wellington identity, "Courage, Respect, Integrity, Kindness, Responsibility" as the core values, Wellington College China aspires to create a caring, learning community that develops well-rounded individuals who can thrive within an ever-changing world. Upholding the concept of "Holistic Education", WCC provides world-class facilities and faculty team, designed curriculum setting, teaching guidance, family-school communication, so as to care for all aspects of pupils' growth with the pupil-centred belief.


Pupils from WCC have achieved great performance in academic results and university admissions. Among all of our graduates in Tianjin and Shanghai, nearly 20% of them are going to the world's top 20 universities and more than 40% to top 50 universities. The average IB score for Wellington College International Shanghai pupils in 2019 has risen up to 36.6 points (against the global average of 29 points) and 72% of all IGCSE grades being A*-A, and in Tianjin 34% of pupils attained A*-A grades at A Level in 2019 and 62% achieved A*-A grades in IGCSE in 2019.

At WCC, we respect, understand and support cultural diversity, and strive to create equal, inclusive and mutually respectful atmosphere in schools for employees, pupils and parents with different nationalities and backgrounds.


The cross-cultural communication between Chinese and foreign employees has always been well under way, while school-family partnership has been effectively strengthened, and parents cooperate with WCC schools to help increase children's engagement and wellbeing in school life together. Among all kinds of events like sports competitions, dramas, festival celebrations and charity activities, great contributions have been made to WCC community by committee members from Friends of Wellington and Friends of Huili along with other parents from WCC schools, and tens of thousands of pupils, teachers and parents have organized or attended all sorts of school-family events every year. 


2009-2019

Best of both worlds with original aspiration

Competitive salary and welfare system, continuous promotion and training planning and the people-centred, realistic, pragmatic and innovative culture, ensure WCC schools' staff turnover rate of 8.7%, which is significantly lower than the norm in the market of 20%, and nearly 90% of employees highly agree they are proud to work for WCC.


WCC is committed ensuring staff are supported with high quality and impact professional learning. Founded in 2018, Huili Institute of Learning focuses on structured training for teachers and contextually relevant research in order to allow education across the group to be world leading. The IoL also engages in projects with Chinese education systems and international leaders in education; for instance:


• Shanghai Municipality Education Commission's research programme into a comparative analysis of leadership in Chinese, bilingual and international schools

• Pudong Wellington Curriculum and Research Alliance with the support from Shanghai Pudong New Area Education Bureau

• Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programmes with Durham University

• Inspiring Learning Conferences and series of workshops which have also won the industry's praises


Held in every April, Festival of Education of Wellington College China has become the annual landmark event in international education industry, and thousands of audiences attend in different cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Tianjin, discussing topics of "Early Years Focus", "Wellbeing", "A Developing Romance", "Exploring Education" and "Multilingualism". Serving as an open platform, WCC's Festival of Education connects experts with parents and teachers, let worldwide educators know each other, and encourages people to think together about education for future generation.

A Chinese saying goes: it takes 10 years to grow a tree, 100 years to form a good education. We look back to the past 10 years' achievements with great pride, but at the same time we know we've only just embarked on the long and exciting journey of building the world's best bilingual education group. 


Thank you for all your devotion and let's look forward to our next 10 years. Together we will achieve amazing things.

Joy

Wellington College China

一方面,我们将“包容”纳入特质、将“尊重”列为价值观,希望培养惠灵顿学子理解与包容多元文化、进行跨文化交流的能力,成长为真正的未来领袖。不同国籍的学校老师、独特的学院制系统、节日文化庆祝、艺术活动等,都在潜移默化地锻炼着学生们的跨文化交流能力。英国惠灵顿的幸福关怀课程,则关注学生的个体差异,提升学生的自我认知和人际交往能力,使其茁壮成长,并收获长远的幸福和成功。


另一方面,中外员工间的跨文化交流一直在顺利进行;家校共建持续有效地开展,家长与学校一起提升孩子在校园生活中的参与度和幸福感。在体育竞赛、戏剧活动、节日庆祝和慈善活动中,以各个校区的惠灵顿之友家委会和惠立之友家委会成员带头,由全体惠灵顿(中国)旗下学校的家长们,为惠灵顿大家庭付出了诸多努力,每年有上万人次的学生、老师和家长组织参与了家校共建大大小小的、形形色色的活动。


从一到十

初心不改,融汇中西共推教育联盟


富有竞争力的薪酬和福利体系,持续的晋升与培训发展计划,以人为本、实事求是、务实创新的文化,使得我们自豪地成为业内人员流动最低的学校之一,员工离职率仅为8.7%,近九成员工表示在这里工作是一件令人自豪的事。

在注重内部员工培训发展的同时,惠灵顿(中国)还将视线投向行业内的课程设计与标准制定以及教师职业培训规划,希望与同业者一起更好地推动中国教育发展。2018年成立的惠立教育研究院,专注教师培训、课程研究和对外交流,除提供强大的内部教学培训支持外,已参与上海市教委关于中文、双语和国际学校领导力对比分析的研究项目,在浦东新区教育局支持下联合多校成立惠灵顿浦东国际教育课程联盟,并与英国杜伦大学合作职前教师培训项目(ITE),其Inspiring Learning 教育峰会、教育工作坊系列活动也受到业界一致好评。


每年4月举行的惠灵顿中国教育节,已成为业内里程碑式的国际教育盛会,吸引了数千名参与者现身上海、杭州、天津会场,一起讨论“早期教育”、“论幸福”、“发展中的罗曼史”、“探索教育”和“多语言体系”等主题。充分发挥平台的开放作用,惠灵顿教育节将专家、家长、教师连接起来,让世界各地的教育者相互了解,共同思考如何培养我们的下一代。

中国有句俗谚,十年树木,百年树人。回顾这十年,我们有许多成就值得自豪,但与此同时我们也深知,以创办世界最好的双语教育集团为目标,前路漫漫,惊喜无限。


在此,我想深深地感谢所有人的倾力奉献,让我们期待我们的下一个十年,同心协力,我们将铸就非凡!
