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.

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 (29 August 2022)
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 29 August 2022 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 404 — 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 29 August 2022 — “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 10 months of the Education Review Office and Kamo School working in Te Ara Huarau , an improvement evaluation approach used in most English Medium State and State Integrated Schools. This timeframe was impacted by COVID Lockdowns. For more information about Te Ara Huarau see ERO’s website www.ero.govt.nz

ERO and the school are working together to evaluate h ow well Kamo School’s assessment practices are meeting the learning strengths, interests and needs of all ākonga ?
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to determine to what extent Kamo School’s assessment practices:
are inclusive and culturally responsive
are facilitating high levels of engagement for all ākonga
empower ākonga to analyse their own achievement data, define their next learning steps and lead their own learning
inform the curriculum design and implementation of rich, meaningful, and authentic learning experiences.
The school expects to see as the result of the evaluation:
ākonga who are agentic and confident leaders of their own learning
innovative teaching approaches that are based on agreed and sound recommendations from the evaluation findings
all ākonga progressing and achieving
assessment practices that value the identity and culture of all ākonga
a strengthened partnership with whanau, working together to grow and support ākonga learning.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school to evaluate assessment practices:
a strong relational approach to nurturing ākonga in an inclusive learning environment
highly reflective leadership practices that inform the school’s curriculum design and implementation of learning programmes
teachers who strive for high quality, relevant and current teaching practices that engage students.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
modifying professional development from the analysis of mid-point evaluation data
continuing to undertake in-depth data analysis of priority and targeted learners to determine school-wide next steps
strengthening school-wide collaboration to achieve consistency of quality assessment practices throughout 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.
