The Wesley Girls’ High School Old Girls’ Association (OGA) has dismissed recent allegations of religious discrimination at the school in Cape Coast, describing them as unfounded and misleading.
In a statement signed by OGA President Harriet Wereko-Brobby on December 11, 2025, the association affirmed that Wesley Girls’ has historically admitted students from diverse religious backgrounds, including Christians of various denominations and students of other faiths, all of whom have thrived in a disciplined, value-driven environment grounded in Methodist principles.
The OGA stressed that the school’s guidelines, which align with the 2024 Memorandum of Understanding between the Methodist Church Ghana and government, are designed to maintain discipline, safety, and high academic standards. These rules apply uniformly to all students without discrimination.
The association explained that while religious freedom is a constitutional right, it must be balanced with institutional rules that preserve the school’s identity and longstanding traditions. Allowing individualised religious accommodations, the OGA cautioned, could disrupt school operations and compromise its standards.
The OGA also urged the public to engage in discussions on the matter with restraint and respect, emphasising that the school remains a home for all students who choose to be part of its community.
Reaffirming its support for the Headmistress, the School Board, and the Methodist Church Ghana, the association called for continued protection of the values that have shaped generations of “godly, confident, capable, and principled women.”
