Our read on Wesley College
Improving School With Ongoing Safety and Attendance Challenges
Wesley College has made genuine and measurable progress since serious concerns were raised in 2023, particularly around student safety, hostel oversight, and leadership systems. However, the school continues to work through significant challenges including low regular attendance (fewer than half of students attend regularly), ongoing hostel improvements, and the need to embed new systems across both the school and boarding facilities. ERO acknowledges the progress while maintaining close oversight and recommending continued Ministry of Education support.
