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 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 (13 December 2022)
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 13 December 2022 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 13 December 2022 — “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 16 months of the Education Review Office and Brookby 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
Brookby School is in a semi-rural location, southeast of Auckland. The school provides education for students in Years 1 to 8. Since the previous ERO review in 2017, the Board appointed a new principal in Term 4 2020 and deputy principal in Term 3 2022.
Brookby School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
quality teaching and learning
an inclusive school culture and environment
fostering a meaningful learning community.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Brookby School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well the school conditions support the development of learner agency to impact positively on student outcomes.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to:
develop a shared understanding among students, staff and whānau of learner agency
continue to build on students’ individual strengths and successes
know how effectively teachers foster agency in their practice to support valued learner outcomes.
The school expects to see students becoming confident and motivated individuals who are actively involved in their learning. Students will be able to talk about what they are learning, why, and their next learning steps. Teachers will continue to consistently use culturally responsive teaching practices that promote learner agency and successful outcomes for all.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal of developing learner agency to impact positively on student outcomes:
students demonstrate a strong sense of belonging and connection to the school
the school’s learning culture is well established and characterised by meaningful student, teacher and whānau relationships
school leadership collaboratively plans, develops and promotes the school values and strategic priorities for continuous improvement.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
embedding a shared understanding of learner agency to enable students to become confident and motivated individuals who experience success
strengthening culturally responsive teaching practice to foster learner agency and promote positive student outcomes
continuing to use evaluation and inquiry through a coaching model to build teacher capacity in understanding and developing learner agency.
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 3 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.
