We've been evaluated by the Education Review Office (ERO) as having ‘a positive and inclusive culture’ with values ‘well known by the students and actively taught and promoted’; where the curriculum ‘contributes strongly to what the school wants for boys, in line with its mission statement’; where boys ‘achieve well in NCEA’. And ‘boys who need additional support with aspects of their learning are very well provided for’, and those ‘with advanced capabilities value the increased opportunities they have to extend and enrich their learning’[1].

Join us at our Information Evening for prospective students on Thursday 1 June, 6pm, in Hogben Hall, where senior staff and student leaders will talk about the curriculum and co-curricular offerings available and answer any questions that you may have.
