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 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.
- Uniform
- Required
Uniform wearing is compulsory. We have a unisex uniform (dark green & navy).

What is on offer beyond the classroom?
The sports, arts, clubs and groups this school names on its own website. Not a complete list of what any school offers, and not a count — a school that names more here has written more down, which is not the same as doing more.

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 (10 March 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 10 March 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 258 — 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 10 March 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 7 months of the Education Review Office and Lucknow 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
Lucknow School is situated in Maungawharau Havelock North, Te Matau a Māui Hawke’s Bay and sits in the rohe of Ngāti Kahungunu iwi . It is a partner within the Tukituki Kāhui Ako cluster and the school caters for learners in years 1 to 6. The school values of; Kind, Honest, and Active are embedded throughout the localised curriculum that provides opportunities for learners to reach the school’s vision.
The school’s whakatauki is Mā te huruhuru, kā rere te manu .
Lucknow School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
to provide a broad localised curriculum which meets the holistic needs of all ākonga
to ensure ākonga are passionate about learning through a multitude of enriched experiences and opportunities
to nurture and protect the schools inclusive and vibrant school culture.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Lucknow School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively the school’s local curriculum is promoting positive outcomes for all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to ensure all learners experience a rich, broad, and deep localised curriculum that promotes engagement leading to equitable outcomes.
The school expects to see high quality curriculum and engagement leading to improved and equitable outcomes for all, particularly Māori and learners with diverse needs.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to enact a localised curriculum that meets the needs of all ākonga :
learners experience a school climate that is positive, inclusive and that seeks to promote their engagement
leaders and teachers are actively engaged in knowledge building processes that promotes a culture of trust, collegiality, and openness to change
the development of systems to track individual student progress and promote clear and meaningful learning goals and curriculum that support achievement.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
the implementation and monitoring of its local curriculum to continually improve outcomes for learners
continue to build teacher capacity for authentic learning experiences, in relation to te ao Māori and mātauranga Māori
ensuring reciprocal and learning centred relationships with community, families and whānau supports the realisation of aspirations leading to improved achievement.
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.
