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 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 (22 January 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 22 January 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 483 — 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 26 September 2018
August 2015
441
Counted while ERO’s review team was at the school. Education Review Office, report of 17 September 2015
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 22 January 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 17 months of the Education Review Office and Greenmeadows 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
Greenmeadows School is in Napier, Hawke’s Bay. The school has learners from Years 1 to 6. The school’s motto “ma te ako ko tipu ka taea - through learning we grow and achieve” is underpinned by values of respect, perseverance and excellence.
Greenmeadows School ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
raising levels of achievement and sustained high achievement
an enabling environment for learning
an engaged community.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Greenmeadows School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the extent to which effective literacy practices in reading and writing improve and support equitable learning outcomes for all learners, particularly for Māori and learners with diverse needs.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
to improve equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners
to empower learners through strong literacy foundations, so they can access the full curriculum as they transition through their schooling
to ensure that professional learning in literacy is translated into tangible and actionable steps that leads to improved outcomes for all learners.
The school expects to see to see improved equity and excellence in progress and achievement for all learners.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal of effective literacy practices in reading and writing improving equitable learning outcomes for all learners:
deliberate about building professional capability and collective capacity to better support improved literacy practices in reading and writing for equitable learner outcomes
learners with diverse needs have an inclusive learning climate and high levels of well targeted and managed support
student engagement and wellbeing is fostered through positive respectful relationships between students and with teachers.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
ensuring consistent teaching expectations align with best practices, research and evidence to promote learner progress and achievement
continue to improve in identifying progress and achievement of targeted learners
strengthening moderation practices in literacy assessment.
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.
