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 (17 May 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 same report — the board assurance report of 17 May 2023 — also sets out actions for compliance: the non-compliance ERO identified during that process. This is that section of the report in full, in ERO’s words.
ERO and the board have identified the following areas of non-compliance during the board assurance process:
Maintaining an on-going programme of self-review in relation to policies, plans and programmes.
The board has since addressed the areas of non-compliance identified.
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 57 — 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 17 May 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 8 months of the Education Review Office and Te Miro 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
Te Miro School is situated in a small village farming community 13kms from Cambridge. It offers education for students in Years 1 to 8, and promotes the vision of growing our future, nurturing confidence and respect.
Te Miro School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
growing a great team of teaching and learning
an environment that embeds ‘our rich local curriculum’.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Te Miro School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively student achievement data is being used to inform teaching and learning programmes to improve student outcomes.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
that it aligns with the strategic initiatives of the school
it supports strengthening of communication of student progress and achievement with parents and whānau
to recognise students’ strengths and needs so that they experience success.
The school expects to see partnerships between school and whānau that are focused on the learner, a wide range of student achievement data being used to inform teaching and learning programmes, and students experiencing success across a range of curriculum areas.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to effectively use data to improve student outcomes:
A collaborative and experienced teaching team.
Authentic learning opportunities within the natural environment of the local area.
Well-established partnerships that support the strategic direction of the school.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
investigating and deciding which data will be collected and why
reviewing when and how to report to parents and whānau about student progress and achievement
monitoring data to identify the impact of teaching and learning programmes on student progress and achievement.
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.
