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 (2 April 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 2 April 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 409 — 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.

Counted while ERO’s review team was at the school. Education Review Office, report of 5 June 2019

ERO did not state when this was counted; the date shown is the report’s own date. Education Review Office, report of 29 October 2015
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 2 April 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 12 months of the Education Review Office and Mount Maunganui Primary 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
Mount Maunganui Primary School is a contributing primary school, located in Mount Maunganui , providing education for Years 1 to 6 students.
Mount Maunganui Primary School ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
to maximise opportunities for students to achieve their full potential
implement a localised curriculum that offers broad, authentic learning experiences for all students.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Mount Maunganui Primary School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well the school’s teacher inquiry process is informing effective teaching that supports ongoing improvements in student progress and achievement.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is the need to:
identify the effectiveness of teaching and learning practices
adapt learning programmes for those students needing to make accelerated progress.
The school expects to see:
improved teaching practices positively impacting on student progress and achievement in reading, writing and mathematics
reduced disparity for groups of learners, prioritising Māori and boys
learning programmes designed to meet the needs of learners and the ways in which they learn best.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate the impact of a teacher inquiry approach:
passionate and supportive teachers within a schoolwide culture committed to student well-being and achievement
strong systems and structures to support team collaboration, designing learning and to support leaders to lead learning across their teams.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
teacher inquiry as a focus schoolwide with appropriate and regular professional learning development
on-going learning design conversations to support teacher development and adaptation of teaching practice
implementing effective strategies that supports parity in achievement for individuals and groups of 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.
