Wellington College Belfast (better known as Wellington College or WCB) is a co-educational grammar school located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The most recent principal was Nicola Connery. The school was formed when, in 1989, the all-boys' Annadale Grammar School and the all-girls' Carolan Grammar School merged to become a single co-educational school.
Wellington College was founded in 1989 after Annadale Boys and Carolan Girls merged. The school is named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. The school moved to its current location on Carolan Road in 2002, which included 2 new rugby pitches, a gravel pitch, an astro pitch and a running track.
Woods was the Head of Annadale before the merger, and carried on into Wellington. The current building has a Hall named after him.
Jacqueline Weir served from 1995 to 2000.
Hassard oversaw the schools move from its former building, nicknamed Cardboard City, to the current building. He left in 2004 to become Principal of Ballymena Academy, where he retired from in 2014.
