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 (3 August 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 3 August 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 454 — 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 3 August 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 seven months of the Education Review Office and Shelly Park 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
Shelly Park School is in Howick, East Auckland and provides education for students in Years 1 to 6. The Board appointed a new principal in Term 4 2020.
The school’s motto is ‘Working Together to Succeed’. This motto is underpinned by the Shelly Park School kaupapa which has been developed in collaboration with staff, students, and the community. The kaupapa encompasses the school values of ‘Respect, Responsibility and Determination’ and is grounded in the anchor stones of: Love of Learning, Inclusion, Relationships, Wellbeing, Agency , and the school capabilities of: Citizenship, Creative and Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, Character .
Shelly Park School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
implement the school values, anchor stones and capabilities through all that the school does
develop structured literacy in the junior area through professional learning
enhance the school’s sense of identity, language and culture and embed the Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Shelly Park School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well the school’s assessment for learning practices strengthen aspects of the Shelly Park School kaupapa to ensure all students progress and achieve.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to:
strengthen student involvement in the learning process to raise their achievement across the curriculum
build continuity of assessment for learning practices among all staff.
The school expects to see:
students involved in decisions around their learning
classroom programmes and teaching practice consistently supporting and encouraging students to know what they are learning and why
students able to articulate their achievement, progress, and next steps to ensure they experience success as learners.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal of using assessment for learning practices and aspects of the Shelly Park School kaupapa to increase student progress and achievement:
students are confident in their learning and express a strong sense of belonging and connection to the school
students experience an inclusive and supportive learning environment that enables them to demonstrate persistence and resilience in a range of learning opportunities
school leadership collaboratively sustains a positive culture of relational trust and support among staff.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
embedding aspects of the Shelly Park School kaupapa to strengthen student involvement in the learning process
continuing to provide professional learning opportunities that promote effective implementation of assessment for learning practices and strengthen consistency across classroom programmes
using evaluation and collaborative inquiry to enhance teaching practice and ensure positive learner outcomes.
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 5 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.
