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.
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.
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 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 22 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 211 — 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 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 6 months of the Education Review Office and Panmure Bridge 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
Panmure Bridge School is located in Panmure, Auckland. It caters for students from Years 1 to 8. The school’s values are C.A.R.E (Confidence, Attitude, Respect, Excellence). The school is a member of the Manaiakalani Kāhui Ako and works with the Woolf Fisher Research Centre at the University of Auckland.
Panmure Bridge School ’s strategic aims for improving outcomes for learners are that each child:
attains 1.5 times expected shift in their reading achievement over the school year
attains 1.5 times expected shift in their maths achievement over the school year
has available health and wellbeing programmes that support their personal growth.
You can find a copy of the school’s charter and annual plan on Panmure Bridge School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the impact of how strengthening the bicultural foundations of the school, through a more localised curriculum, improves outcomes for all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation focus is to:
ensure the Panmure Bridge school curriculum includes a greater understanding of biculturalism
support students to understand the concept of turangawaewae (place to stand) starting with their local area, its history, people, and whenua and how they are all interconnected
embed teacher knowledge, capability, and pedagogy around te ao Māori me ōna tikanga Māori to ensure the cultural applications of these taonga are sustained.
The school expects to see further evidence of:
improved learning outcomes for all ākonga with a focus on accelerated progress
learning opportunities that a contextualised to the local community and wider Aotearoa NZ
the Aotearoa New Zealand Histories curriculum is woven into the design of the school curriculum
staff growing in their confidence of the use of te reo Māori and teaching of te Ao Māori
students’ increasing wellbeing, identity and sense of belonging to their local community.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to develop the bicultural foundations of the school :
collaborative, dedicated staff who are focused on improving outcomes for all ākonga
supportive and evidence-informed school leadership, who are focused on continuous improvement
active membership in Manaiakalani who provide networking opportunities, advice and support for school leaders and teachers
well-resourced learning culture focused on allocating resources to initiatives that improve student outcomes.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
ongoing support for teachers to continue exploring what it means to be bicultural in Aotearoa NZ
planned high quality teaching and learning programmes for ākonga that reflect the local area
continuing to make use of the evidence-based data the school collects to influence teaching and 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.

All 4 reports ERO holds for this school
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.
