About Wellsford School

Wellsford School is a co-educational full primary school in Wellsford, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 311 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 484. The school has been open since 1875.

With 311 students on roll, Wellsford School is a large school — larger than about 62% of New Zealand schools.
