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.

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 (28 February 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 28 February 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 507 — 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 28 February 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 Edendale School (Auckland) 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
Edendale School (Auckland) is in Sandringham and caters for students from Years 1 to 6. The school vision is to develop confident, creative, open-minded contributors to the community.
Edendale School (Auckland) ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
all tamariki develop a love of learning and strive to reach their academic potential. Māori , Pacific and learners with diverse needs receive appropriate learning support
to demonstrate the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi ( partnership, participation and protection) as the foundation for the way we work together with whānau and the wider community
an ongoing focus on improving our facilities, processes, resources, and systems.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Edendale School (Auckland) ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the impact of initiatives that support diverse learners and are designed to strengthen inclusive practices so that all tamariki meet their academic potential.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
addressing the needs of diverse learners is a strategic priority for the school
a number of learners have complex and diverse behaviour and learning needs, and this has created a greater demand for specialist and adaptive teaching
ongoing targeted professional development is in place, which focuses on high quality, dynamic inclusive education.
The school expects to see
increasing levels of learner engagement and enjoyment leading to increased learner progress
evidence of a rich local curriculum that reflects the diversity and differentiation of the school community, including Pacific learners and whānau
evidence of increased teacher confidence and professional growth that will positively impact on improving learner success.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to continue to strengthen the school’s inclusive education practices.
School-wide leadership is well-established and utilises collaborative inquiry and internal monitoring to ensure a focus on continuous improvement.
Professional, committed teachers who use effective teaching practices which meet individual needs and promote equitable and excellent outcomes for all ākonga .
A supportive school community which encourages leaders and teachers to enrich opportunities for ākonga to become confident creative and open-minded learners.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise ongoing:
development of an inclusive, responsive learning environment that provides engaging learning opportunities, and which gives full effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi
review of high quality inclusive-education practices in New Zealand
monitoring, evaluation, and inquiry to reduce disparity and promote greater equity for all.
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.
