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
Uniforms are compulsory for all pupils.

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 (15 February 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 15 February 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 402 — 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 15 February 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 12 months of the Education Review Office and Freyberg Community School 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
Freyberg Community School is an urban school located in Te Atatū South, Auckland, and provides education for students in Years 1 to 6. The school values of creativity, optimism, resilience and empathy form the vision for all learners at this school.
Freyberg Community School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
develop effective teacher pedagogy across the school so that all learners can progress and achieve to their highest potential through quality teaching and learning
embed our localised curriculum to create rich opportunities for learning as ākonga progress along their learning pathways
develop understanding of the school values through the PB4L programme to improve the engagement, achievement and wellbeing of our learners
nurture a strong sense of belonging that is reflected in a positive community presence.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Freyberg Community School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well school conditions are supporting ākonga to progress and achieve to their highest potential, as the school continues to raise the achievement, engagement, and wellbeing of its ākonga .
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to achieve the school’s priority of meeting the needs of all ākonga as they progress and achieve to their highest potential through quality teaching and learning.
The school expects to see increased ākonga attendance, a continuation of equitable achievement, and enhanced student wellbeing reflected in the evaluation of data. The school is focused on continuing to grow and foster strong relationships and enhancing opportunities for ākonga to learn te reo Māori and tikanga Māori.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support it in its goal to evaluate how well school conditions are supporting ākonga progress and achieve to their highest potential, as the school continues to raise the achievement, engagement and wellbeing of its learners.
learners are making accelerated progress towards achieving excellent and equitable outcomes
the progress and achievement of Māori and Pacific learners are quickly responded to through an ongoing strengths-based approach and a te ao Māori and mātauranga Māori lens
ākonga with diverse learning needs are supported to realise their full potential
the school is refining and strengthening conditions, actions and practices that promote learner creativity, optimism, resilience and empathy
a continued focus on growing planning processes to improve learner outcomes.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
continuing to grow and foster strong relationships that support the aspirations, views, language, culture and identity of learners and whānau
providing equitable and sufficient opportunities to learn through tikanga Māori, te reo Māori , and mātauranga Māori.
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.
