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 (5 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 5 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 361 — 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 5 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 six months of the Education Review Office and Morrinsville 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
Morrinsville Intermediate school is located in the rural township of Morrinsville and within the boundaries of Ngāti Hauā, tumuaki o te Kīngi . It caters for students in Years 7 and 8. The school continues to be led by an established leadership team.
Morrinsville Intermediate’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
to enhance teacher capability and leadership by further embedding an effective coaching model
to enhance the localised curriculum by creating explicit opportunities for learners to strengthen their key competencies.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Morrinsville Intermediate’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the extent to which they are strengthening parent and whānau involvement as partners in their children’s learning.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
through meaningful involvement of parents and whānau in their children’s learning, progress and achievement should improve and result in more equitable outcomes
through being effectively involved in supporting their children’s learning, the sense of belonging and engagement with the school should improve and positively impact on outcomes.
The school expects to see an increase in the number of students making accelerated progress and achieving at the expected curriculum level.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support it in its goal to increase parent and whānau involvement as partners in their children’s learning:
whanaungatanga is prioritised to ensure students participate and learn in a culture that is caring, inclusive and collaborative
students experience a broad, localised curriculum that is student-centred and highly relevant to emerging adolescents
effective internal evaluation processes are in place with clear strategic vision; these drive and sustain school improvement, innovation, and enable equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
planning internal evaluation to ensure the voices of all stakeholders are considered
research and inquire into effective ways of improving parent and whānau engagement in their children’s learning.
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.
