Wellington School was a small private school in Wellington Road, Bebington, Wirral. Founded and for many decades run by its first headmaster, J.P. Fogg, Wellington School became a prominent institution in the 1960s and '70s, with an academic and sporting record that created a wide catchment area.
The school was founded by J.P. Fogg, whose educational philosophy was that "given the right environment, a boy will seek to emulate the good example of those who strive to guide him".
Wellington admitted boys only until 1990, becoming co-educational under the leadeship of its second headmaster, Dr B. Scott.
The school's motto was 'Honor Praemium Virtutis' ('Honour is the First Virtue').
The school closed in 1995 and is now a housing estate.
