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.
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.
- In their words

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

- Profile report
- Board assurance
- The board attested to all areas (3 April 2024)
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 3 April 2024 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 391 — 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.

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 3 April 2024 — “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 6 months of the Education Review Office and Churchill Park 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
Churchill Park School is in Glendowie, Auckland. It provides education for students in Years 0 to 8. The school empowers students to “ Stand-tall, Aim High,” which nurtures their self-belief and encourages their passions. Academic success and curriculum excellence are valued outcomes.
Churchill Park School ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
Thriving Learning – Ako . Continue to provide academic rigor, high-quality professional development for staff and design /development of the local curriculum.
Thriving People – Tangata . Foster stronger partnerships, develop a strong sense of identity.
Thriving Place – Rohe . Build stronger connections with our local community.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Churchill Park School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the design and implementation of a localised curriculum, as underpinned by Te Mātaiaho (the refreshed NZ Curriculum ).
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
the school is undertaking a significant body of work to develop and implement a local curriculum
teachers are continuing to develop their knowledge of Te Mātaiaho through professional learning and participating in ongoing curriculum development.
The school expects to see:
increased student engagement in a localised curriculum, that reflects their community and their place in the world
the rich local knowledge and history are integrated throughout the curriculum
teaching staff who are confident to deliver a high-quality school curriculum.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal of ensuring the design and implementation of a localised curriculum:
a well-established learning culture that is characterised by authentic, positive relationships
well supported teachers who undertake professional learning opportunities to grow their practice
school-wide leadership that is passionate, collaborative and committed to continuous improvement.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
collaboratively planned, engaging and well-balanced learning opportunities that reflect the local area
targeted professional development that supports ongoing curriculum development
using evaluation and inquiry to monitor and strengthen the delivery of a localised curriculum.
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.
