Our read on Rodney College
Improving School With Clear Areas Still Needing Work
Rodney College is a caring, inclusive secondary school in Wellsford that is working towards better outcomes for its students. The 2025 ERO report shows genuine strengths in school culture, pastoral care and leadership, but identifies attendance as a significant ongoing concern with less than half of students attending regularly. A new principal started in 2025, and the school has a clear improvement plan in place.
