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 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 (12 December 2022)
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 12 December 2022 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 326 — 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 12 December 2022 — “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 10 months of the Education Review Office and Glenholme 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
Glenholme School is located in the city of Rotorua and provides education for students in Years 1 to 6. The school opened in 1948 and has developed strong links with local iwi , Ngāti Whakaue . The school is proud of its learning dispositions and values. Tamariki are supported and inspired through the five learning dispositions that are connected to tipuna of Ngāti Whakaue iwi . The school prioritises learning that is authentic, purposeful, and visible for all tamariki .
Glenholme School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
all students are able to access the New Zealand Curriculum as evidenced by progress and achievement in relation to learning progressions
Māori learners are participating, achieving, and contributing to Te Kura o nga Raupareparenga
Pasifika learners are participating, achieving, and contributing to Glenholme School
students with additional needs are participating, achieving, and contributing to Glenholme School.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Glenholme School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively schoolwide systems, and teaching and learning programmes, support all learners to experience success through a strong sense of cultural identity and belonging.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to ensure:
every learner has maximum and equitable opportunity to learn and achieve at appropriate curriculum levels
every learner is confident in their sense of identity, culture and belonging
teaching and learning programmes across the school are coherent, consistent, and responsive to the needs of every learner.
The school expects to see effective teaching and learning programmes that enable all learners maximum opportunity to participate, contribute and achieve their potential, with a strong sense of identity, culture and belonging.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to ensure all learners participate, contribute, and achieve their potential, with a strong sense of identity, culture and belonging:
Collaborative and committed leaders and staff focused on all learners achieving their potential.
Established, supportive relationships with whānau , community and Ngāti Whakaue iwi .
Internal expertise to support improvement focuses in literacy, mathematics and te reo Māori .
Established assessment tools to support and enhance responsive teaching and learning programmes.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise outcomes of equity and excellence for all learners through:
continued staff professional learning in te reo me tikanga Māori
continuing to support and embed effective use of assessment to guide responsive teaching and learning programmes
continuing to enhance partnerships with whānau and community to support valued 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.

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.
