On Monday 26 September, Wellington College in Shanghai had the pleasure of welcoming Anna Shotbolt to visit. Anna Shotbolt is First Secretary, Head of Education and Skills at the British Embassy Beijing. Anna arrived and was received by Joy Qiao, the Chair of Governors, Dr. Ahmed Hussain, Director of Schools of Wellington College China, Gerard MacMahon the Master and Eleanor Prescott, Second Master of Wellington College International Shanghai. The tour, led by Emma Button, Head of Pre-Prep, Rachel Chadwick, Director of Admissions and Lorena Zhi, Group Director of Marketing of Wellington College China, allowed Anna to visit a wide range of classrooms, arts and sports facilities, and to meet our wonderful pupils. Anna was able to experience at first hand the unique values and identity of a Wellington College education through its holistic approach to learning.

结束在上海惠灵顿国际学校的访问之后，Anna Shotbolt女士前往与惠灵顿中国紧密合作的、陆家嘴集团前滩公司参观。前滩国际商务区投资（集团）有限公司总经理助理施枫向Anna女士介绍了前滩国际商务区整体规划以及一系列令人期待的新项目，包括与多个跨国集团合作的高端住宅、商业版块和休闲娱乐文化设施。而在众多前滩的规划项目中，与惠灵顿中国的合作一直是前滩投资项目的核心，目的是为上海的中外家庭提供世界一流水平的国际和双语教育。

Anna was then able to visit the New Bund Headquarters, who hold a long standing cooperation with Wellington College China. Mr Stephen Shi, Assistant to General Manager of the New Bund Investment Corporation Ltd introduced the impressive New Bund project development which includes many high end residential, commercial and social amenities in partnership with major multinational corporations. At the heart of this project, however, is the partnership with Wellington College China, offering the best international and bilingual education to both expatriate and Chinese families in Shanghai.

Anna女士随后访问了惠灵顿中国大家庭的最新成员——惠灵顿（上海）双语幼儿中心，受到了幼儿中心园长Vanessa Szucs-Hussain和管理团队的热烈欢迎。惠灵顿（上海）双语幼儿中心毗邻上海惠灵顿国际学校，旨在为中国家庭2-6岁年龄段的幼儿提供富有惠灵顿特色的双语课程服务，满足广大中国家庭对优质早期教育服务的需求，现有超过200名在读学子。紧随其后是正在计划筹办的面向2至15岁年龄段学生的上海惠灵顿双语幼儿园和上海惠灵顿双语学校。Anna参观了经过精心设计，以促进孩子在每个重要阶段的学习和成长的幼儿中心教学环境，很高兴见到幼儿中心的孩子们在责任心强、专业水平高的教师团队带领下参与各种课堂和室外活动，进行主题性的学习课程。

Anna then visited the newest member of the Wellington College family of schools in China, Wellington College Bilingual Shanghai Early Years Centre. She was welcomed by Vanessa Szucs-Hussain, Master of Wellington College Bilingual Shanghai Early Years Centre, and her leadership team. Wellington College Bilingual Shanghai, an educational partnership between Shanghai Lujiazui Group and Wellington College, proudly joined the Wellington College family in March 2016 with over 70 founding pupils and now there are over 200 children attending the setting by August 2016. Aimed at providing a Wellington education to Chinese national families, the school is specifically designed to meet the needs of children between 2-6 years of age. Anna toured the purpose-built bilingual setting, happily greeted by the bilingual Chinese pre-school children involved in a variety of learning through play activities in and around the indoor and outdoor learning spaces by a team of highly motivated and qualified early years practitioners.

结束访问后，Anna女士评价道，“我很欣喜地看到惠灵顿国际和双语教育合作项目把最优质的英式教育带到中国，并与本土教育精髓相融合，以满足国际和本地社区的需求。”

Following her visit to both campuses, Anna commented:“I was very impressed to see how both the international and bilingual setting, are bringing the very best British education to China and adapting it to the needs of Shanghai's international and local communities.”
