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.
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 (28 April 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 28 April 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 128 — 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 27 June 2014
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 28 April 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 6 months of the Education Review Office and Te Uku 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 Uku School is a rural school situated close to Raglan Township providing education for students in Years 1 to 8. The school’s vision is to ‘expand the hearts and minds of our students, to become confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners’.
Te Uku School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
strengthen and promote our unique school identity
implement a culturally relevant localised curriculum
build professional capability and collective capacity.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Te Uku School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively a range of data is used to inform teaching and learning to improve outcomes for all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is that:
systems and structures need to be strengthened to better report on student progress and achievement consistently throughout the school
student achievement data needs to show value added over time.
The school expects to see:
a range of data to be used, including student voice
professional growth cycle to build professional capability and collective capacity
achievement data showing improvement in student outcomes.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate the effective use of a data to inform teaching and learning.
An assessment schedule is in place to support teachers to assess in varied ways to support student progress and achievement.
Teachers collaboratively moderate and plan together.
There is a shared understanding of a balanced curriculum to scaffold teaching and learning.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
the implementation and review of the professional development cycle
further unpacking about what is happening for Māori learners, to inform targeted action
investigating other types of data to better understand 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.

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.
