A welcome from our Headteachers

At Auckland College, our Headteachers are united by a shared commitment to more than academic success. They foster a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child is supported to thrive. With affordable fees, wraparound care and a global perspective, our school helps pupils grow with confidence — both personally and academically.

"Auckland College is fantastic, my two children go to the school and it has such a supportive and family-like atmosphere. The teachers and the teaching assistants are fantastic and are as friendly to children in their class as to others around the school. My children are happy and achieving so high in their lessons without realising they are learning sometimes I think!"

Jennifer

"We moved our son to Auckland in Year 4 and it was the best thing that we could have done. This school feels like a supportive family from the minute you enter the building. Leaders, teaching staff and pupils are welcoming, friendly, supportive and encouraging. High standards are married with support and genuine care. Staff members know pupils very well and not only support their academic success, but also their overall wellbeing. Our son is now working to his full potential thanks to being at Auckland College!"
