Can my child go here?
This school has an enrolment scheme, so a place is not open to every address. How enrolment zones work
Loading zone map…
Zone boundaries shown here are approximate. Ministry of Education data warns these boundaries do not have high spatial precision and can place neighbouring addresses on different sides of a line. This is not a confirmation of enrolment eligibility — always confirm directly with the school. Zone geometry also does not reflect enrolment priority rules (siblings, special character categories, ballots) — it shows the mapped boundary only.

What would the day look like?
The practical things this school states on its own website — the hours, the uniform, the term dates, and how children get there. These are the school’s own words, not the Ministry’s record and not ERO’s.
Quoted from this school’s own website, as we read it on 13 August 2026. A web page carries no date of its own, so that is the day we read it — not a statement that any of this is still the case. Each line quotes the words it came from.

What does the school say about itself?
Quoted, not summarised. Every school describes itself well, so this is here to be read as the school’s own case rather than as a finding — and a school that states nothing simply has no row.

What is on offer beyond the classroom?
The sports, arts, clubs and groups this school names on its own website. Not a complete list of what any school offers, and not a count — a school that names more here has written more down, which is not the same as doing more.

What did ERO find?
The Education Review Office reviews every school and publishes what it finds in full. We quote ERO’s report here, section by section, in ERO’s own words and order, and link to it. We do not summarise a report, pick a line out of one, or turn one into a score. How ERO reviews schools

- Board assurance
- The board attested to all areas (20 July 2023)
A board assurance statement is the board’s own account of whether it took all reasonable steps to meet its legal obligations, on the date shown. It is not ERO’s finding. ERO reports separately, in the same report, on any non-compliance it identified during that process.
The board assurance report of 20 July 2023 carries no actions-for-compliance section — the section ERO uses when it names non-compliance it identified. That is what this report contains; it is not ERO saying it found none. Other reports ERO holds for this school may say something different.
The roll ERO recorded, and when
ERO writes a roll into each report it publishes: a count taken for that report, on the day shown, by the review team that was there. The Ministry of Education’s current roll for this school is 116 — the figure at the top of this page, and the one to use for how big the school is now. These are a different measurement by a different body, so they will rarely agree, and a difference between them is not a change in the school.

This is one count taken for one report. It says what the roll was on that day, and nothing about how the roll has moved.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 20 July 2023 — “Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report” — section by section, under ERO’s own headings, in ERO’s own order. Nothing is summarised, shortened or reordered.
Background
This Profile Report was written within 12 months of the Education Review Office and Bayswater School working in Te Ara Huarau , an improvement evaluation approach used in most English Medium State and State Integrated Schools. For more information about Te Ara Huarau see ERO’s website. www.ero.govt.nz
Context
Bayswater Primary School is located in Bayswater, North Shore, Auckland and provides education for students from Years 0 to 6. A new senior leadership team has been operational for a year. A refurbishment of the school’s internal environments is soon to be completed.
The school hosts two satellite classes for Wilson Specialist School and part of the Devonport- Takapuna Kāhui Ako .
Bayswater School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
Whakawhanaungatanga - Celebrate our diverse and inclusive culture
Ako - Inspire and engage tamariki to be their best
Whanaungatanga - Build on our positive professional relationships.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Bayswater School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well schoolwide mathematical programmes enable culturally responsive teaching and learning through problem solving to ensure equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
schoolwide equitable outcomes for all tamariki within a strength-based approach
professional development in effective teaching and learning pedagogical approaches, previously developed through school literacy, was successful in improving the progress and achievement for all tamariki
building effective teaching and learning strategies through a culturally responsive lens, in adaptive ways, to promote equitable and excellent outcomes for all tamariki .
The school expects to see kaiako transferring proven successful pedagogical approaches and programmes, that enable equitable and excellent outcomes for all tamariki in mathematics.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the goal to evaluate how well schoolwide mathematical programmes enable culturally responsive teaching and learning through problem solving to ensure equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners:
tamariki experience a school learning culture, that is consistently positive and promotes their learning engagement
leadership actively seeks, adapts and implements teaching and learning strategies to support school priorities
strong partnerships with community and whānau , with well-established respectful relationships.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
a consistent pedagogical approach across the school that ensures best practice is utilised by all kaiako
developing effective processes for monitoring, evaluating and accelerating ākonga progress.
ERO’s role will be to support the school in its evaluation for improvement cycle to improve outcomes for all learners. ERO will support the school in reporting their progress to the community. The next public report on ERO’s website will be a Te Ara Huarau | School Evaluation Report and is due within three years.

ERO reviews a school every few years — around four years between reviews is the usual cycle — so an older date here reflects where a school sits in that cycle, not how it is doing.
