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 (31 May 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 31 May 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 689 — 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.

What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 31 May 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 24 months of the Education Review Office and Pukekohe 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
Pukekohe Intermediate School is located in Pukekohe , Auckland. The school provides education for students in years 7 and 8. The school is a member of the Pukekohe Kāhui Ako , the lead school for Resource Teacher Learning and Behaviour (RTLB) Cluster 13 and the fund holder for Franklin Attendance Services. The school is structured into six learning communities that cater for diverse learning abilities through relational based teaching and promotion of HEART (honesty, empathy, aim high, respect, teamwork) values.
Pukekohe Intermediate ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to enhance:
Culturally responsive and relational teaching
Wellbeing/ Hauora
Curriculum disparity
Localised curriculum and Aotearoa histories
Professional growth cycle.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Pukekohe Intermediate ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the extent to which internal evaluation is supporting improvements in strategic decision making for improving student wellbeing, progress and achievement.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
strengthening schoolwide clarity of what is working for student progress and achievement
increasing engagement with mana whenua and other stakeholders to refine practice and systems
reviewing the implementation of the local and NZ curriculum throughout the school.
The school expects to see:
actionable next steps that are informed by evidence guiding strategic priorities
improved student wellbeing, progress and achievement outcomes
decreasing disparity across target groups of learners.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to improve student wellbeing, progress and outcomes.
Relational based pastoral care, supported by strong partnerships with community agencies, that ensures students at the centre of decision making.
Deliberate curriculum design and planning that informs responsive teaching and learning programmes, supported by extracurricular opportunities to increase student engagement.
Systems and processes that support effective induction of students and staff to the school.
Effective use of tracking systems in learning communities informs meaningful support for target students to better meet learning needs.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
Reviewing current internal evaluation systems and processes to identify what is already working and what areas need to be improved.
Creating and implementing a strategic action plan to identify key timeframes and approaches to building a collaborative internal evaluation culture.
Using key findings from the evaluation to inform actionable next steps to improve student progress and outcomes across the school.
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.
