Wrekin College is a private co-educational boarding and day school located in Wellington, Shropshire, England. It was founded by Sir John Bayley in 1880.
In 2006, The Old Hall School, a distinct preparatory school that had existed since 1835, merged with Wrekin College. While they operated as a single trust and shared a campus, the two schools maintained their separate identities until 2025. In that year, Wrekin College officially closed The Old Hall School, and immediately opened a new preparatory school on the same site under the new name of Wrekin Prep.
Part of the Allied Schools, it is also a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.
