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.

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 (22 August 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 22 August 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 353 — 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 22 August 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 12 months of the Education Review Office and New Windsor 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
New Windsor School is in New Windsor, Auckland and caters for ākonga in Years 1 to 6. An enrolment zone has been introduced to manage roll growth. The vision for the school is ‘to be the best you can be’ . New Windsor School is a member of the Lynfield Kāhui Ako and has a long history of serving the local community.
New Windsor School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for ākonga are to:
strengthen partnerships and networks
develop rich authentic and responsive curriculum that sets up ākonga for success
empower staff and ākonga to build resilience and wellbeing.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on New Windsor School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate equity and excellence for all ākonga , with a focus on innovation and improved outcomes for Māori , Pacific and priority ākonga .
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is the:
school’s commitment to culturally responsive practices and learner agency
school’s strategic plan values building the evaluative capability of teachers to respond effectively to the learning needs of all ākonga
opportunity it provides for further monitoring and reporting to inform the pace and success of change.
The school expects to see improved outcomes for Māori , Pacific and priority ākonga , whose engagement, progress and achievement is supported by innovative, culturally responsive teaching practice and the development of learner agency.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate equity and excellence for all ākonga :
the wellbeing of all ākonga is well promoted within an inclusive learning climate
organisational structures include systems and processes that effectively evaluate the impact of teaching and learning
leaders consistently prioritise and plan for school improvement by pursuing the school’s vision, goals and targets for equity and excellence
professional development is focused on enhancing teaching capability with an equity focus for Māori , Pacific and priority learners.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
continued tracking and monitoring of the engagement, progress and achievement of all ākonga
strengthened school wide evaluation, inquiry and knowledge building for improvement and innovation, with a clear focus on Māori , Pacific and priority learners
continued promotion of ākonga agency and wellbeing through the use of the New Windsor Learner Profile
an explicit focus on all ākonga experiencing deep learning in relation to te ao Māori, te reo Māori me ōna tikanga and mātauranga Māori .
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.
