3. Assessment
Your child will complete age-appropriate assessments to help us understand how they learn best and ensure alignment with Wellington's approach. For Early Years and Junior School, the evaluation is age-appropriate, friendly and play-based and may include a short meeting with your child and our teachers, a simple observation of interaction and communication, and a review of health and development information. This helps us determine placement and supports the admissions decision.
