Welcome to Te Kura o Tawatawa - Ridgway School 

About Our Kura  Enrolment Info Current News

As one of Wellington’s few full primary schools (Years 1–8), we offer children the rare opportunity to grow, lead, and thrive in a connected community from their first day of school through to the end of Year 8. We are proud to be home to Wellington’s only French bilingual programme, offering learners the unique opportunity to become confident bilingual communicators while learning within a vibrant multicultural environment.
Our innovative Year 7 & 8 programme provides an exciting alternative to intermediate, combining academic excellence with authentic, hands-on learning. Students engage in rich experiences including technology, digital media, design, hard materials, garden-to-table learning, leadership opportunities, and real-world problem solving - all designed to build confidence, creativity, and independence before high school. 



Massive thanks to The Vogelmorn Foundation, who in 2025 generously granted us $7,500 towards setting up our school library, and a further $8,500 to support one-to-one tutoring for priority learners.

Their contribution makes a real difference for our ākonga and is greatly appreciated by our kura.
