The Wellesley Haddon Dene
COMMUNITY
Wellesley Haddon Dene is a family-orientated preparatory school where pupils aged between 2-13 years have a chance to shine – in the classroom, in the creative arts and on the sports field – supported by exceptional pastoral care. We offer a range of boarding options – full, weekly, flexi and occasional – and we cater for day pupils, who are fully integrated into the school and benefit from an extended school day.
Our Beautiful
LOCATION
Wellesley is located in the quintessentially British seaside town of Broadstairs, famed for its Victorian architecture and beautiful white cliff-edged sandy beaches, and for being the home of Charles Dickens. The Victorians recognised the health benefits of being by the sea and we fully endorse this thinking, incorporating the local beaches into the curriculum via our beach club, where children get the chance to have lots of traditional seaside fun whilst learning about marine life and bio-diversity.

These are the values that our pupils, staff and wider community agree to uphold. They are the heart of the school and are the foundation of the strong community at Wellesley Haddon Dene. They help pupils to form lifelong friendships, and to guide their moral compass during their time at Wellesley and throughout their lives.
