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 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 (6 December 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 6 December 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 362 — 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.

What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 6 December 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 9 months of the Education Review Office and Flanshaw Road 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
Flanshaw Road School is located in Te Atatu South , Auckland City and caters for ākonga /learners in Years 0-6. The school’s vision is to ‘develop academically strong, culturally centered, socially resilient, physically confident students who know they can make a difference in the world.
Flanshaw Road School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
develop a strong foundation of academic success in learning, underpinned by ‘student agency’ and ‘assessment literacy’, upon which to build future success
support students to develop a positive sense of self, using specific culturally focused, place-based teaching strategies, that enhances and elevates the ‘ mana ’ of every student
support staff and students to develop future focused skills, such as creativity, communication, problem solving, adaptability, teamwork skills and perseverance, using technology resources
engage 100% of Flanshaw parents in key learning activities through specific strategies – Transition to School, Mutukaroa, Student-led Conferences, learning-focused workshops, involvement in ‘Friends of Flanshaw’ and school events – to enhance and support parents’ capacity as first teachers.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Flanshaw Road School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well learners develop their cultural ‘sense of self/ whakapapa ’, underpinned by the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi through effective and equitable teaching and learning practices.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
continuing the focus on attendance, engagement and addressing gaps in learning post the pandemic ensures optimising excellent learning outcomes
implementing an explicit focus on strong foundation skills continues as a core school expectation
extending the digital curriculum applications and use of technology across the school supports future skill development for all learners
ongoing development with the Māori Achievement Collaborative (MAC) supports staff and whānau continuing a strong positive impact on learners’ identity culture and language.
The school expects to see:
learners at the centre of a localised responsive culturally sustaining curriculum
support for the ongoing development of quality teaching and leadership that make a positive difference to all ākonga
learning that is future focused, meaningful, and relevant to students’ lives
inclusive relational teaching and learning where every child knows what success feels like
whānau and community engagement that supports learning outcomes for all.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate how well learners develop their cultural sense of self/ whakapapa :
ākonga are provided with multiple experiences to grow self
kaiako are encouraged and provided with resources to develop their own knowledge and capabilities
informed, professionally qualified and collaborative leadership
supportive whānau and Board school involvement.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
aligning the ERO focus to the school’s evaluation planning
developing clear indicators to support meeting the evaluation expectations
review learning agency opportunities
embed and monitor bi-cultural practices.
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.
