People, programmes and facilities
We need to make sure our educational offer keeps pace and equips our students for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Through the Educational Excellence Fund we will ensure that we can invest in the best staff and facilities required to deliver a truly outstanding all round educational offer at Wellington.
Widening opportunity
Talent is spread evenly throughout society, but opportunity is not.
Our aim is to offer more talented young people, regardless of their background the life-changing opportunities of a Wellington education. Our widening opportunity programmes include:
