Wrekin College

The school is founded on the principle that education should not be 'one-size-fits-all' and emphasizes individual attention to help every pupil discover and become their best self. It promotes a 'Wrekin Way' approach, which focuses on personal growth, resilience, and the development of independent thinkers who act with integrity. The school aims to create a supportive, family-oriented community where pupils are known, included, and valued.

Wrekin Prep follows an enhanced National Curriculum, utilizing subject specialists in areas such as Science, Music, Drama, Digital Technology, Spanish, and Innovation. Wrekin Senior and Sixth offer a broad academic curriculum, with Sixth Form students receiving support for UCAS applications and further education. The school also provides EAL pathways for international students.

Wrekin Prep provides a Support for Learning department offering both group and one-to-one support for pupils with additional learning needs at no extra fee. The school also maintains a gifted and talented programme to provide extra stretch and challenge for pupils across the school. On-site pastoral support includes access to counselling services.

The admissions process begins with an enquiry via email, phone, or attendance at an Open Event. Prospective families are encouraged to visit for a personalised tour or attend an Open Morning. Following registration, applicants participate in taster days or assessments; for Wrekin Senior and Sixth, entrance assessments are scheduled individually, with Sixth Form entry involving GCSE results and interviews. Acceptance fees are required to secure a place once a formal offer is made.

The school operates on a three-term structure: Michaelmas, Lent, and Summer. The academic year includes scheduled exeats and half-term breaks for both day and boarding pupils. Key annual events include Speech Day in the summer and Open Mornings in the autumn and spring.

The campus features extensive facilities including an Innovation Lab, IT suites, a library, and a purpose-built 200-seat theatre with tiered seating. Sports facilities include a six-lane 25m indoor swimming pool, two sports halls, a fitness suite, squash courts, Fives courts, indoor rowing facilities, and floodlit all-weather pitches, as well as cricket, rugby, and tennis/netball courts. Dedicated spaces for the arts include a Music School, individual music practice rooms, a dance studio, and an Art School.

Wrekin Prep offers the 'Horizons' programme, which includes activities such as cricket, tennis, coding, dance, and yoga. Wrekin Senior and Sixth provide a 'Character Adventure Training' programme, incorporating the CCF (Army and RAF sections), the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, and an employability curriculum. Music is a significant focus, with opportunities including a non-audition Chapel Choir that has achieved national recognition.
