The Old Girls' Association (OGA) of Wesley Girls Senior High School has refuted recent allegations of religious discrimination at the school, describing them as unfounded and inconsistent with the institution’s long-standing record of inclusivity.

A statement dated December 11, 2025, and signed by the President of Association, Harriet Wireko-Brobbey, defended the school's long-standing commitment to inclusivity and discipline.

"Wesley Girls’ High School Cape Coast has, throughout its history, welcomed students from diverse religious backgrounds, including various denominations of Christians and students of other faiths.

"All have thrived within a well-structured environment, deeply rooted in the school’s Methodist values. The OGA therefore, rejects any attempt to portray the school as intolerant or discriminatory," it noted.

Touching on concerns about religion, the association argued that granting religious accommodations for one group would obligate the school to extend the same to all others, a situation it described as impractical and unsustainable.

"The OGA also realises that any allowance made for one particular faith, has to be made for all other faiths in the interests of impartiality. It is neither practical nor sustainable to expect individualised religious accommodations, that could eventually compromise the school’s order, safety, and long-standing traditions which underpin its enviable status," the statement noted.

It also entreated stakeholders to exercise caution in their public statements, urging a focus on the welfare of all students.
