Welldon was originally the House attended by day boys who lived close enough to go home for lunch and it is proud to count the novelist E.M. Forster and the international cricketer Zak Crawley as some of its alumni.
The Georgian House sits at the heart of the School campus: the boys enjoy their own football pitch and are proud of the ‘House Family’ system, whereby all boys are supported and mentored by older students.
