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 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 (12 June 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 12 June 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 488 — 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.

Counted while ERO’s review team was at the school. Education Review Office, report of 21 September 2016
August 2011
475
Counted while ERO’s review team was at the school. Education Review Office, report of 19 September 2011
We draw no line between these. Each was counted for its own report, years apart, by a different review team, and a roll moves between reviews for reasons none of these figures record — so the difference between any two of them measures nothing.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 12 June 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 Cashmere Primary Te Pae Kererū 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
Cashmere Primary Te Pae Kererū caters for learners from Years 1 to 8. It is located on Christchurch’s Port Hills and is a member of the Kahukura Community of Practice.
Cashmere Primary Te Pae Kererū strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
foster wellbeing
enhance the school’s localised curriculum
embed Te Tiriti o Waitangi .
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on the Cashmere Primary Te Pae Kererū website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate leadership of an evidence-based, adaptive and culturally responsive approach to teaching writing, to ensure all learners thrive and experience success.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
senior leaders are coaching and empowering leaders of learning to support teaching teams to reflect and inquire into the effectiveness of their practice, to better respond to students’ strengths and needs – including culturally responsive practices
in writing, data shows there is scope to further investigate patterns, trends and possible improvements, including for Māori learner success.
The school expects to see:
leaders continually engaged in professional knowledge-building with teachers to enhance effectiveness
consistently equitable opportunities for learners to progress and achieve
Māori learners consistently well supported to achieve, with a strong and secure sense of their cultural identity.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school to evaluate leadership of an evidence-based, adaptive and culturally responsive approach to teaching writing, to ensure all learners thrive and experience success:
clear and embedded vision and values that foster an inclusive approach to learning, with a strong focus on progress, achievement and wellbeing for all
a dedicated, caring and professional staff culture that utilises evidence-based practices for decision making
a cohesive leadership team that has developed and embedded systems and structures for capability-building, promoting purposeful change and improvement.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
implementing a co-constructed evaluation plan for improvement, to identify further opportunities for professional development
senior leaders continuing to build capacity of leaders of learning and project leaders, to effectively facilitate consistent learning practices
building on engagement and consultation practices, including with students, whānau and families, to further enhance the localised curriculum, teaching practices and strategic decision making.
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.
