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 (31 July 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 31 July 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 433 — 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 31 October 2013
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 31 July 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 24 months of the Education Review Office and Hingaia Peninsula 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

Hingaia Peninsula School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
an actively engaged learning community
a future focussed curriculum that enables personal pathways and empowered learners.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Hingaia Peninsula School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively the school’s pedagogical leadership structure impacts equitable and excellent learning outcomes for all.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
ensuring all students are getting the best learning opportunities
ensuring the new leadership structure is effective and leading to improved outcomes for all learners
building a sustainable leadership model and pedagogical capabilities as the school continues to grow.
The school expects to see:
consistency of pedagogical practice across all learning studios, whilst allowing teachers the freedom to design responsive learning that engages and excites learners
leaders and teachers using formative practice to improve learning outcomes for all learners.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to ensure the school’s pedagogical leadership structure impacts equitable and excellent learning outcomes for all.
Leadership that actively promotes the wellbeing of learners and staff and strong commitment to equitable and excellent learning outcomes for all students.
Strengthened literacy and numeracy programmes to ensure all students can access the broader curriculum.
Teaching is characterised by respect and inclusion resulting in learners being well engaged in their learning.
Indoor and outdoor learning environments that support the delivery of the local curriculum.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
embedding and sustaining an effective leadership and pedagogical practice as the school continues to grow
supporting students to identify their own learning needs and use assessment skills to evaluate their own work.
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.
