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
We offer a variety of both compulsory and non-compulsory items for your child/ren during winter months. Students may wear plain black track pants, below the knee leggings, and thermal tops, while summer requires the wear of Uniform Skorts and Shorts.

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 November 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 November 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 449 — 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.

Counted while ERO’s review team was at the school. Education Review Office, report of 31 March 2016
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 November 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 three months of the Education Review Office and Endeavour 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
Endeavour School is located in the suburb of Flagstaff, north Hamilton and provides education for students in Years 1 to 6. A new principal and deputy principal were appointed for 2022. The school provides innovative learning in purpose-built environments.
Endeavour School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
to ensure that all students are progressing and achieving their potential in relation to the New Zealand Curriculum, with a focus on reducing the number of students considered to be not achieving
to develop the capacity and capability of the team, with an ongoing lens to review and implement key strategic curriculum initiatives.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Endeavour School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively school programmes and practices are enabling equitable outcomes for all learners. Strengthening students’ social and emotional competence and supporting students to excel and achieve excellence are ongoing priorities for the school.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
the opportunity it provides to further respond effectively to school data to improve equitable outcomes for identified groups of students and minimise barriers to learning
the school’s commitment to supporting the diverse needs of all learners and ensuring students are progressing and achieving to their potential.
The school expects to see strategies further refined and implemented, to enhance the responsiveness of the school’s curriculum for continuous learner improvement and success.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal of equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners:
an inclusive school culture and positive relationships that support high levels of student engagement and achievement
teaching and learning programmes and practices that identify and respond to the individual needs of learners, and provide equitable opportunities to learn and succeed
collaborative leadership that prioritises actions for improvement, strengthens collective capability through professional learning and promotes ongoing evaluation of the school’s curriculum.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise continuing to:
strengthen responsive strategies to nurture social and emotional competence and support priority learners to make accelerated progress
provide rich, authentic and challenging learning opportunities that enable students to excel
strengthen and use evaluation and inquiry to sustain improvement in outcomes for all learners.
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.
