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.
- Uniform
- Required
All pupils are expected to wear the Clayton Park School uniform in neat and tidy condition.

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 (3 May 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 May 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.
What this report states about the school
As stated in ERO’s report of 3 May 2024 — not necessarily the position now. Each line quotes the sentence it came from.
- Bilingual or immersion provision
- Māori bilingual unit Te Pikinga Poutama for learners in years 6 to 8, and a Rumaki Reo for years 0 to 5
The school has a Māori bi-lingual unit, Te Pikinga Poutama , for learners in years 6 to 8 and a Rumaki Reo for years 0 to 5.

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 326 — 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 3 May 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 10 months of the Education Review Office and Clayton 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
Clayton Park School provides education for students from years 1 to 8 and is located in Wattle Downs, south Auckland. Since the last ERO review in 2016, two school leaders have been appointed to the senior leadership team.
The school’s vision is ‘Discoverers, Connectors, Creators’. Its values are aroha , respect, integrity, initiative, industry, safety and engagement in learning (ARISE).
Clayton Park School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to promote:
quality teaching and learning
future focussed creators of learning
culturally responsive relationships.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Clayton Park School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the quality of effective teaching and a responsive curriculum and its impact on learner progress and achievement.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to:
further develop teachers’ capacity to respond effectively to students’ achievement data
build teacher capability to use effective teaching and learning strategies
effectively meet whānau , parent and community aspirations for students’ success.
The school expects to see improvement in students’ achievement and success and teachers consistent use of effective teaching strategies to engage all learners. Teachers will engage students in their learning with a relevant local curriculum, collaborative inquiry and increased student agency.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support improvements to effective teaching and a responsive curriculum on learner progress and achievement:
a positive school culture that supports students’ voice and agency
the provision of a range of learning opportunities in the curriculum to engage students in their learning
a strong commitment to te Tiriti o Waitangi that values te Ao Māori within the school
teachers who are committed and responsive to students’ learning needs
established systems and processes to support students hauora and learning.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
embedding effective literacy strategies schoolwide to improve students’ access to the curriculum and to improve their achievement
continuing to develop a meaningful and responsive curriculum to actively engage and challenge students in their learning.
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.
