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.

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 268 — 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.

Part B: Findings for the school
This section of the report provides more detail for the school to include in strategic and annual planning for ongoing improvement across the school.
Areas of Strength
Senior leaders and staff have high expectations for student success. Students requiring additional learning support are identified early and receive targeted literacy and numeracy support. Challenging opportunities, particularly in mathematics, extend students.
School leaders provide cohesive, focused leadership that increasingly strengthens school conditions to support student success and wellbeing. Strategic planning provides clear direction for priorities and targets to improve student outcomes.
A consistent, well understood approach to teaching and learning is evident across the school. Learning is well planned, emphasising reading, writing and mathematics and embedding student mental wellbeing strategies. Teachers and leaders use reliable achievement data to track and monitor student progress.
Teachers are well supported to build capacity through an evidence-based professional learning programme that clearly aligns with strategic goals for learner achievement.
Parents are knowledgeable about student achievement, progress and wellbeing through effective communication between the school and them.
School culture fosters inclusivity; values are consistently upheld within the school and with the community.
Key priorities and actions for improvement
The agreed next steps for the school are to:
sustain gains in attendance through more specific actions in annual planning and monitor the impact of these
accelerate the progress of Pacific learners in reading, writing and mathematics, for equitable outcomes
build on increasing te reo Māori , tikanga Māori and te ao Māori within the curriculum
develop a graduate profile that highlights those competencies, skills and attitudes that effectively prepare students for learning beyond Patumāhoe School.
The agreed actions for the next improvement cycle and timeframes are as follows.
Every six months:
review and report to the board on the impact of actions taken to improve students’ regular attendance
evaluate the success of identified strategies expected to accelerate the progress of Pacific learners in reading, writing and mathematics and identify further actions required
Annually:
report to the board on progress towards achieving the Government’s attendance targets, to inform further steps
review and report to the board on the progress made towards equitable outcomes for Pacific learners in reading, writing and mathematics
report to the board on the progress of increasing in the curriculum te reo Māori , tikanga Māori and te ao Māori , and plan for further development
review and report on the effectiveness of the graduate profile in relation to the intended outcomes for students.
Actions taken against these next steps are expected to result in:
the school meeting or exceeding the target for regular attendance
equitable outcomes for Pacific learners in reading, writing and mathematics
te reo Māori , tikanga Māori and te ao Māori evident in learning across the school
a graduate profile that highlights students’ competencies, skills and attitudes for learning.
