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.
- In their words
- Our vision is for every learner at Clive School to experience the very best opportunities in their education. We value each child as a unique individual, honouring their success, culture, and identity. Our learning programmes are tailored to their needs and designed to challenge them to excel.
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 (3 May 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 3 May 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 216 — 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 May 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 13 months of the Education Review Office and Clive 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
Clive School is a semi-rural school between Hastings and Napier in Hawke’s Bay and caters for learners in years 1 – 6.
Clive School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
culturally responsive learning experiences
engaging learning experiences for all
supporting our people to thrive.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Clive School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively literacy practices promote improved outcomes for all learners, particularly for Māori and boys.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
to promote equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners
to improve literacy foundations that will empower all learners as they transition through their schooling
to continue to develop culturally responsive and relational pedagogy and effective literacy practices in teaching and learning programmes
to further develop partnerships with whānau, hapū and iwi to promote improved engagement, attendance and achievement.
The school expects to see equitable and excellent outcomes in literacy with accelerated progress and improved achievement in literacy for priority learners.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support it in its goal to evaluate how effectively literacy practices promote improved outcomes for all learners, particularly for Māori and boys:
the school continues to strengthen professional capability and collective capacity to improve learner outcomes
clear alignment of school priorities within Kahui Ako challenges and teaching as inquiry
a positive and inclusive school culture with a focus on equity and excellence.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
continuing to build culturally responsive capabilities and effective practice within literacy teaching
implementing a responsive, localised curriculum that responds to culture, language and identity that includes te ao Māori, te reo Māori me ona tikanga and matauranga Māori
strengthening reciprocal and learning centred relationships with whānau to support improved achievement in literacy.
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.
