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.
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.
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 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 (8 August 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 8 August 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 269 — 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.

What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 8 August 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 2 years of the Education Review Office and Berhampore 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
Berhampore School serves a multicultural community on the southern edge of Wellington city. It delivers learning opportunities to children in Years 1-6 in the conventional classes and Years 1-8 in the Montessori unit.
Berhampore School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
support every child to succeed in developing foundation skills and capabilities, including language, literacy and numeracy.
protect and promote the wellbeing of the school community
deepen our connection with Te Ao Māori.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Berhampore School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively Berhampore School is implementing the Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum and developing an understanding of the importance of this area of the curriculum within the school community.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum in the initial stages of development and implementation at Berhampore School to raise students’ awareness and knowledge of their local stories, histories, places and people
to develop an understanding of the place and importance of this area of the curriculum within the school community.
The school expects to see school leaders, trustees, teachers, students and whānau actively engaged in learning the local stories and histories of the Wellington/ Poneke area, allowing students to develop an understanding of how historical stories affect people and place. They understand these stories can offer the chance for children to acquire, use and practice Te Reo in appropriate contexts, and see the connections between te reo , tikanga and local stories.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to develop and implement a localised Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum that reflects the local area.
A broad cultural base that allows a diverse range of views and increased learning opportunities to better understand the world around them.
Positive relationships with, and support from, the community that support the school and its activities.
Leadership that provides a clear vision for success and sets high expectations for teaching practice and learning outcomes.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise development of :
a framework to guide Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum delivery, including criteria for the measurement of children's increasing knowledge and understanding
teachers’ understanding of the Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum and strategies for its delivery
an understanding of the place and importance of this area of the curriculum within the school community .
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.

All 4 reports ERO holds for this school
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.
