The Wellensian Association
Whether you were a pupil for one term or the full fourteen years from Reception to Upper Sixth, you are part of a large and growing network of Old Wellensians (OWs), all of whom share the connection of having attended Wells Cathedral School.
All former pupils are automatically enrolled as Life Members of the Wellensian Association, with no further registration or joining necessary.

About Us
What we are for:
The Wellensian Association is the alumni organisation for former pupils of Wells Cathedral School. Its purpose is to help support the School and strengthen the bonds between Old Wellensians (OWs) while providing a network for ongoing connection.
All former pupils of Wells Cathedral School automatically become members of the Wellensian Association, which is free of charge unless they choose to opt out and inform the Foundation accordingly.
The Wells Cathedral School Foundation manages all alumni activities, including events and communications. Through the Ambassador Programme, we ensure that every alumni voice is heard, keeping the network inclusive, vibrant, and accessible to OWs locally and internationally.

The Wellensian Association seeks to make membership rewarding for members by:
We also welcome the Upper Sixth into the Wellensian Association as Old Wellensians during the last week of Term, presenting them with a life membership token at the Welcome Reception.
How we work:
The Wellensian Association is managed by the Wells Cathedral School Foundation, with the support of Old Wellensians within the Ambassador Programme. The Foundation leads alumni communications, events, and activities, while the Ambassador Programme ensures diverse alumni engagement and representation.
The Foundation's primary aim of the Wellensian Association is to strengthen the ties between OWs and the School. Throughout the year, the Head Master, Director of Development, and selected Ambassadors meet regularly to discuss strategies, gather feedback, and plan activities that support the ongoing connection between OWs and the School.

Our History:
In 2025, the management of the Wellensian Association formally came under the Wells Cathedral School Foundation. While the Wellensian Association has always been one of a number of supporting bodies under the School Foundation, this transition enables the School to build on the Association’s proud legacy while continuing to strengthen bonds between Old Wellensians and Wells Cathedral School.
The Foundation would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the former Committee Members of the Wellensian Association for their dedication, hard work, and commitment over the years. Their efforts have been instrumental in laying the foundation for the future of the alumni community, and their legacy continues to guide us as we move forward.
