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 May 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 31 May 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 347 — 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 31 May 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 18 months of the Education Review Office and Insoll Avenue 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
Insoll Avenue School is located in the eastern suburb of Enderley in Hamilton within the boundaries of Ngāti Wairere. It caters for students in Years 1 to 6. The school is guided by the vision ‘ Kia Mau, Ki Nga Taonga, Tuku Iho , Make the most of the opportunities you have.’
Insoll Avenue School ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
high aspirations for every ākonga /learner
strengthen overall achievement and reduce disparity
growing quality teaching and leadership
build learning partnerships with parents/ whānau .
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Insoll Avenue School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively an assessment for learning approach is improving outcomes in literacy and mathematics. The rationale for selecting this evaluation is the need to:
raise overall achievement in literacy and mathematics
reduce disparity across groups of learners
improve attendance and engagement for all learners.
The school expects to see higher numbers of students engaged in learning and making accelerated progress in literacy and mathematics.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to improve student outcomes in literacy and mathematics:
Learners experience a school learning climate that is consistently warm and caring.
Learner wellbeing is consistently promoted and sustained.
Teachers have a strong commitment to ongoing improvement as part of their commitment to the unique needs of learners and whānau in this school community.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
revisiting teacher planning to ensure responsive strategies and contexts for learning are strengthening students’ engagement
strengthening the use and understanding of learning progressions to better identify and respond to students’ learning needs
reviewing assessment for learning practices to support schoolwide consistency.
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.
