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 (13 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 13 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 153 — 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 13 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 6 months of the Education Review Office and Hay Park 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
Hay Park School caters for Years 0-6 ākonga and is located in Mt Roskill, Auckland. The school’s vision is to develop positive learners who believe in their potential, achieve their dreams and succeed through life, through values of respect, resilience and responsibility. In partnership with their community, they prepare ākonga to be successful learners who have the ability to take action to shape their future.
Hay Park School’s strategic priorities for learners to reach their potential are:
creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all ākonga and their whānau
building powerful reciprocal partnerships
continuing to raise expectations for learner progress and achievement
strengthening capability to support children's learning through their strong sense of belonging and identity.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Hay Park School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the impact of the school’s deliberate and explicit focus on providing excellent and equitable learner outcomes.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
literacy and maths programmes are reviewed, implemented, and innovated to ensure needs are met
wellbeing sits firmly at the centre of learning, and in particular staff knowing children’s identity, culture, and language, and what tamariki bring as prior knowledge to their learning
that informed leadership supports innovation
to continue to strengthen and embed partnerships that impact positively on ākonga outcomes.
The school expects to see:
schoolwide learner engagement fully reflects the school values
equitable access for ākonga to digital devices, to support accelerated learner outcomes
consistent teacher practices that are personalised for ākonga to focus on equitable and excellent learner outcomes
leadership distributed to guide and support the highest quality teaching practices
whānau engagement that enables aspirations to be realised through the local curriculum.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate the impact of the school’s focus on providing excellent and equitable learner outcomes:
ākonga strong in their personal and cultural identity
tuakana-teina relationships are visible across the school
all staff are valued for what they bring to the school
leadership focused on reflection for action, ensuring what is good for tamariki happens
having heart is reflected in the people: teaching, learning and community.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
developing an evaluation plan to examine impactful positive relationships; the how, the why and what that means for ākonga
reviewing what the school does currently to build, embed and sustain reciprocal relationships
aligning the evaluation to the school’s strategic planning.
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.
