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 does the school say about itself?
Quoted, not summarised. Every school describes itself well, so this is here to be read as the school’s own case rather than as a finding — and a school that states nothing simply has no row.
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 (9 November 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 9 November 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 453 — 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 29 October 2013
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 9 November 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 24 months of the Education Review Office and Queenspark 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
Queenspark School Te Hua Mānuka is located in east Christchurch. The school provides education for students in Years 1 to 8. Their vision is empowering children to step up and reach out in order to achieve their personal best.
Queenspark School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
Students will be able to successfully increase their ability to use number knowledge effectively and make significant progress in their daily mathematical tasks and activities.
As a priority, teachers will be able to successfully implement written language programmes for students who are just below expectations and established as best practice from the results of 2021 and 2022 written language outcomes.
To introduce the refreshed NZ Curriculum, Te Mātaiaho .
Students will be able to retell the Queenspark School Cultural Narrative in their own words by explaining the tō mātou kōrero (our story) and therefore maintaining the important cultural links to our Māori tuku iho (heritage).
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Queenspark School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate to what extent is cultural responsiveness known, understood, and enacted at Queenspark School to improve wellbeing and learning outcomes for all students.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
The school has identified cultural responsiveness as an area for ongoing improvement, this aligns to current strategic planning.
The focus will support equitable educational success for Māori as Māori and all learners.
The school expects to see a strengthening in giving effect to te Tiriti o Waitangi which will support enhanced equity and excellence outcomes for all students.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate to what extent is cultural responsiveness known, understood and enacted at Queenspark School:
Existing Systems and processes that support effective internal evaluation to support continuous improvement in teaching and learning.
Leadership that actively plans interventions to support improved outcomes for Māori learners…do they work? Have a positive impact? Are they culturally responsive?
A strategic approach to improving outcomes for all learners that is informed by meaningful analysis of learner outcomes.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
Further development of leaders and teachers understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in order to improve wellbeing and learning outcomes for all students.
Continuation of a focused approach to ensuring improved parity of learning outcomes for all 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.
