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
Not stated on the school’s website.

In January 2024, after an extensive review process, our uniform provider changed to [NZ Uniforms](https://meadowbank.nzuniforms.com/)who are based in Penrose.

What does the school say about itself?
Quoted, not summarised. Every school describes itself well, so this is here to be read as the school’s own case rather than as a finding — and a school that states nothing simply has no row.

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 (20 March 2024)
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 20 March 2024 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 768 — 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.

This is one count taken for one report. It says what the roll was on that day, and nothing about how the roll has moved.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 20 March 2024 — “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 5 months of the Education Review Office and Meadowbank 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
Meadowbank School is a large central Auckland school which caters for children in Years 1 to 6. There are over 750 students enrolled at the school. The school values student academic success, personal aspiration, and contributing positively to the world around them.
Meadowbank School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
Develop and empower teachers to deliver a stimulating, well-balanced education that reflects our aspirations and values.
Challenge and support all our students to reach their potential through authentic rich learning experiences.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Meadowbank School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the implementation of Te Mātaiaho (the Refreshed Curriculum) and the impact it has on learning experiences and outcomes for all students.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
design, development and implementation of the school curriculum is a significant and important body of work that has wide reaching implications over time
curriculum development aligns with the school’s current strategic priorities
curriculum knowledge and design are a professional requirement for teachers which includes ongoing curriculum development.
The school expects to see:
each aspect of the NZ curriculum and associated assessments embedded in teaching and learning practice
staff who are confident to design and deliver high-quality learning experiences that enriches and extends all learners
a localised curriculum which is balanced and ensures coverage over a students’ time at Meadowbank school.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal of designing and implementing Te Mātaiaho (Refreshed Curriculum).
teachers are well supported to undertake professional learning to further enhance their practice
students experience an inclusive learning environment that is consistently positive and promotes engagement, innovation, and achievement
school-wide leadership that utilises collaborative inquiry and internal monitoring to ensure that there is a focus on continuous improvement.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
targeted professional development, both internally and externally led, which focuses on knowledge and embedding of the refreshed Mathematics, English and Aotearoa New Zealand Histories curriculums
teachers using evaluation, inquiry, and collaborative approaches to strengthen teaching practice and ensure school-wide consistency
ongoing monitoring and evaluation to promote and build excellence and equity for all students.
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.
