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 (26 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 26 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 119 — 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 26 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 six months of the Education Review Office and Kaikohe Intermediate 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
Kaikohe Intermediate, Te Kura Takawaenga o Kaikohe , is located in the Northland town of Kaikohe and provides education in a bilingual setting for Year 7 and 8 students, most of whom are Māori of Ngāpuhi descent.
The school’s vision is ‘ Mā te Aroha Ka Puawai Ngā Mokopuna, Ka ora te Iwi, Ka Anga i Ngā Tapuwae o Ngā Uri o Rahiri ”- through love, compassion and support, our children will flourish, our whānau are well, our kura will follow the footsteps of our ancestor Rahiri . The vision, together with the school’s values of arohatia te reo, tikanga, manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga , convey the school’s intent to promote children’s identity, language and culture through Ngāpuhitanga , iwi history and language. Kaikohe Intermediate School is a member of Te Arahura Kāhui Ako .
Kaikohe Intermediate’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
Ka puawai ngā mokopuna – promote Te Tika o Ngāpuhi
Ka ora te iwi –to know and be able to use the language of learning and for kaiako to deliver quality learning opportunities
Ka anga I ngā tapuwae o ngā uri o Rahiri – use student achievement data and evidence deliberately to inform teacher practice.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Kaikohe Intermediate’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate i nitiatives that promote the success of Māori as Māori.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
kaiako are taking part in professional learning and development that is specifically focussed on raising Māori achievement
the promotion of Ngāpuhitanga is a strategic goal for the school and Te Arahura Kāhui Ako .
The school expects to see
ākonga who display mana and feel well connected to their language, identity and culture
the deliberate use of information about ākonga engagement, wellbeing and achievement in kaiako planning and teaching
consistent and ākonga -focussed kaiako practice across the school that promotes improved achievement.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths in its goal to evaluate initiatives that promote the success of Māori as Māori .
ākonga are supported to achieve success with a strong secure sense of their identity through learning of and through te reo o Ngāpuhi me ona tikanga , whakapapa and histories
kaiako are committed to developing their knowledge and skills to be highly effective and culturally responsive facilitators of learning
leaders are committed to professional learning that upholds the school’s values and vision to develop cultural citizenship and Ngāpuhitanga
the school has well-established connections and relationships with Māori whānau, hapu and iwi to support ākonga learning and outcomes.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
further professional development opportunities which specifically focus on Māori success and achievement
strengthening engagement and transition initiatives which promote wellbeing and regular attendance at school
continuing to develop the eight term Marau a Kura to support a streamlined learning experience for ākonga during their time at Te Kura Takawaenga o Kaikohe
kaiako and leaders using information about ākonga engagement, wellbeing and achievement to evaluate the success of initiatives.
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.
