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 (30 June 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 30 June 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 592 — 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 30 June 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 14 months of the Education Review Office and Lakeview 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
Lakeview School, located in Masterton, Wairarapa , provides education for learners from Years 1 to 8.
Lakeview School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
to strengthen teacher practice
to foster staff and student wellbeing
that students and teachers will develop culturally responsive practice
to increase community engagement.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Lakeview School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively interventions and programmes accelerate the progress and achievement of all students in literacy, with particular focus on priority learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
that the school has identified the need to comprehensively review the effectiveness of literacy programmes at all levels of the school
that it will support leadership to align systems and processes, strengthen curriculum delivery and teacher practice, and lift the literacy achievement of all learners.
The school expects to see that this evaluation will inform and further support the board, leadership and staff in decision-making, strategic planning, and the embedding of high-quality schoolwide evaluation, focused on the continuous improvement in literacy and outcomes for all learners.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate how effectively interventions and programmes are accelerating the progress and achievement of all students in literacy, with particular focus on priority learners:
a positive value-based culture focused on supporting all literacy learners is highly evident throughout the school community
a staff committed to the strategic direction of the school, open to professional learning in literacy and to making changes to their practice
fully embedded te reo and tikanga Māori , and a clear commitment to culturally responsive practices woven through all curriculum areas, especially literacy.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
the development of a thoughtful, strategic framework to guide and implement school-wide literacy learning focused on accelerating the progress and achievement of all students
strengthening learning partnerships with whānau and the community to engage, inform and involve them in the new literacy approach.
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.
