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 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 (6 October 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 6 October 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.
What this report states about the school
As stated in ERO’s report of 6 October 2023 — not necessarily the position now. Each line quotes the sentence it came from.
- Bilingual or immersion provision
- Samoan Bilingual unit, ‘Puna o le Malamalama’, for students in Years 1 to 8
This school has a Samoan Bilingual unit, ‘ Puna o le Malamalama ’, for students in Years 1 to 8.

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 502 — 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 20 June 2018
March 2015
524
Counted while ERO’s review team was at the school. Education Review Office, report of 8 May 2015
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 6 October 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 3 months of the Education Review Office and Robertson Road 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

The school expects to see:
improvements in students’ success and learning outcomes
students who are well prepared to transition to further learning
consistent and sustained use of effective teaching strategies.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the improvement of effective teaching and its impact on learners’ progress and achievement:
the way the school promotes student agency and ownership of learning
the provision of pastoral care to support student hauora /wellbeing
teachers' contribution to leading best practice in the wider learning community
links and connections with family and whānau
high levels of community engagement.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
embedding teachers’ structured literacy practices to improve students’ expression and their access to learning across the curriculum
promoting effective teaching strategies including cultural responsiveness to improve student engagement in learning in a meaningful and authentic curriculum.
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.
