History edit
Vanguard Military School opened in February 2014 as one of the Fifth National Government's new partnership schools. It is a senior secondary school that catered for year 11 and 12 students in its foundation year before expanding to take year 13 students in 2015.[2][3]
Following the election of the Sixth Labour Government in October 2017, the partnership school model was disestablished. Vanguard subsequently opted to become a section 156 designated character state school starting in the 2019 school year.[4]
