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.
- Getting there
- There is a bus stop outside the school gate; in the morning the route starts at Wood Bay and students arrive at school at around 8.25am, and in the afternoon the bus picks them up from the bus stop opposite Lopdell House at around 310pm

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.

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 (4 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 4 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 446 — 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 4 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 six months of the Education Review Office and Titirangi 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
Titirangi School is situated on the edge of the Waitakere Ranges in West Auckland, catering for students in Years 1-6. The school’s values are Āko Tahi, Whanaungatanga and Manaakitanga - Learning Together, Relationships & Belonging and Caring & Respect. Titirangi School is an Enviro School and a member of the Kōtuitui Kāhui Ako . A first-time principal joined the school at the start of 2023.
Titirangi’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
equip ākonga /learners with language, literacy, numeracy and digital literacy skills that enable future learning and development
empower ākonga to develop a sense of ownership over their own learning
embrace and respect our tūrangawaewae - personal, local, environmental and bi-cultural, while acknowledging our responsibility to Te Tiriti o Waitangi
embrace diversity and provide for good wellbeing, physical health and mental health for all.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Titirangi School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the impact of culturally responsive practices on excellent and equitable outcomes for all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
leaders and teachers are in the process of developing a local curriculum that reflects Aotearoa’s bi-cultural status and the diversity of cultures at the school
the school is seeking to strengthen relationships within the school community including local iwi
professional learning and development are in place to strengthen culturally responsive practices.
The school expects to see improved achievement and well-being outcomes for all learners. Central to this is a shared belief that culturally responsive practices allow teachers to engage learners and have a positive impact on achievement for all.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate the impact of culturally responsive practices on excellent and equitable outcomes for all learners:
ākonga /learners who enjoy school and are enthusiastic about new learning opportunities
quality teacher practices place the school values, learner profiles and equity at the centre of learning
an engaged and supportive community which values learning, inclusion and a rich and localised curriculum that focuses on the needs and interests of ākonga /learners
school leadership, including the Board, values and promotes diversity, in particular Te Ao Māori .
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
integrating the New Zealand Aotearoa Histories Curriculum into the Titirangi School local curriculum
strengthening the physical learning environment to reflect the cultures and identity of the whole school community
improved teacher confidence and capability when engaging in Te Reo Māori and Te Ao Māori
developing a deeper understanding of culturally responsive pedagogies and embedding these into the Titirangi School local 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 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.
