Our read on Wellington College
Strong Academic Results With Equity Work Underway
Wellington College is performing strongly in academic achievement, with nearly all students gaining NCEA Level 2 and 3 and University Entrance. The school has a new leadership team that is increasingly strategic and focused on improvement. However, ERO has identified persistent gaps in engagement, attendance and achievement for some Māori and Pacific students that the school is actively working to address.
