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
Students are to wear the correct and clean uniform every day.

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 (7 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 7 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.
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 171 — 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 7 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 13 months of the Education Review Office and East Tamaki 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
East Tāmaki School is in Ōtara , Auckland and provides education for ākonga in Years 1 to 6. The school vision is Whakohooho ngā ākonga – Inspire learners, Whakamana – Strengthen Mana , Whakaaweawetia ā mua – Influence the Future.
East Tamaki School ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for ākonga are:
Whanaungatanga – To strengthen our partnership with whānau and iwi
Piripono – To provide ākonga with a robust, relevant and authentic local curriculum based on Te Mātaiaho with a particular focus on English, Mathematics and Statistics
Manaakitanga – To strengthen student wellbeing.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on East Tamaki School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well equitable and excellent outcomes for all ākonga are enhanced through learning-focused partnerships with parents, whānau and community.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
the school has a goal to further develop learning-focused partnerships with parents, whānau , iwi and hapū
to enhance whānau engagement for shared understandings of approaches to teaching and learning within a local curriculum
to improve community collaboration in order to strengthen ākonga wellbeing, engagement, progress and achievement.
The school expects to see:
parents, whānau and the community increasingly engaged and involved in a variety of school activities as respected and valued partners in learning
an increased range of effective communication strategies to communicate and engage with parents, whānau and the community
whānau contributing to the improved wellbeing, engagement, progress and achievement of all ākonga through shared understandings of teaching, learning and the local curriculum.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate how well equitable and excellent outcomes for all ākonga are enhanced through learning-focused partnerships with parents, whānau and community:
the wellbeing of all ākonga is well considered and catered for within an inclusive learning climate
leaders prioritise and plan for school improvement by pursuing the school’s vision, goals and targets for equity and excellence
excellent organisational structures include systems and processes that effectively evaluate the impact of teaching and learning.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
continue to plan opportunities for whānau engagement, with a focus on culturally responsive connections and valued home-school partnerships
further consult with whānau to inform and evaluate effective home-school communication strategies
further strengthen school wide assessment processes to increase student achievement with a clear focus on shared high, equitable expectations for ākonga wellbeing, engagement, progress and achievement.
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.
