The school became a fully government-controlled school in 1962. As of 2016 over 7100 boys are studying in the school in grades 1 to 13 including all main streams of secondary studies which include biology, mathematics, commerce and arts. The first Minister of Education, Dr. C. W. W. Kannangara and Dr. Tuan Burhanudeen Jayah, a senior minister, have both served on the staff of Prince of Wales College.

Prince of Wales College has produced many exceptional cricketers who, at one time or another, played for the national team. It won the Herman Loos Cup for cadeting many times in the past and has won international championships in rowing. (en)
