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.

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 (18 May 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 18 May 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 283 — 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 18 May 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 9 months of the Education Review Office and Mangorei 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
Mangorei School, located in New Plymouth, caters for students in Year 1 to 8.
Mangorei School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
strengthen community partnerships, community, and staff capabilities
develop a relevant, place-based curriculum
strengthen hauora and wellbeing practices for students and staff.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Mangorei School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well the delivery of the school’s localised curriculum achieves equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to determine the impact of teaching, learning and curriculum delivery on achieving equity and excellence for all learners.
The school expects to see:
equity and excellence for students and accelerated progress for learners working toward curriculum expectations
whānau group inquiry evidencing evaluation into the impact of deliberate actions and strategies on achieving the school’s identified priorities
cohesive school development and curriculum plans reflecting continuous improvement of the localized curriculum.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to achieve equity and excellence for all learners:
school personnel and trustees collectively pursue the school’s vision, goals, and achievement targets to promote equitable and excellent outcomes for learners
the capability and practice of teachers and support staff is well supported through participation in relevant professional learning and development (PLD) and opportunities to share and inquire into key curriculum areas
the learning environment reflects the school’s shared values and promotes the positive and purposeful engagement of students
assessment systems, processes and practice enable the school to track, monitor and respond to the needs of individual learners. Information provided to the board of trustees ensures their resourcing decisions reflect the needs of staff and students.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
reviewing and revising the school development plan and curriculum plan to reflect current effective practice and new approaches in delivery of literacy and culturally responsive practice
continuing to engage staff in PLD to build professional capability and practice in delivery of the school’s localised curriculum
gathering inquiry information from whānau groups to inform evaluative insights into the impact of changed practice and strategies on outcomes for learners.
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.
