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 (19 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 19 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 278 — 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 19 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 12 months of the Education Review Office and Levin 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
Levin Intermediate, located in Levin, caters for learners in year 7 and 8. The school provides bilingual education for students.
Levin Intermediate’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
raise student achievement
set expectations and guidelines to provide clarity around quality practice
support the growth and development of Māori language and tikanga in a safe and inclusive way
make strong connections with family, whānau , community and iwi .
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Levin Intermediate’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well learners achieve successful outcomes through their two-year participation in the Levin Intermediate curriculum.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
the school is seeking to evaluate the impact of their curriculum delivery on outcomes for learners over two years at intermediate.
The school expects to see
a positive trajectory of progress in literacy and mathematics for learners over their two years at intermediate
effective teaching and learning aligned to the school’s expectations
high levels of engagement for learners in a culturally responsive curriculum
reciprocal learning partnerships with parents, whānau , community and iwi.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to achieve equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners:
school conditions encourage the positive engagement of students in learning
c ollaborative and cohesive leadership promotes continuous improvement aligned to the school and community priorities
curriculum design and delivery value the funds of knowledge from stakeholders
an appropriate range of assessment tools are used to identify learners requiring their progress accelerated, and to track, monitor and report their progress.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
continued participation of teachers and support staff in professional learning and development and ongoing provision of coaching and mentoring to build capability in delivery of shared curriculum expectations
gathering of information from students, parents and whānau to inform evaluation insights into the impact of curriculum delivery and school practices on achieving the school’s strategic goals.
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.
