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 (9 March 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 9 March 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 169 — 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.

This is one count taken for one report. It says what the roll was on that day, and nothing about how the roll has moved.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 9 March 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 Wesley Primary 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
Wesley Primary School | Te Kura Tuatahi o Wēteri is a Year 1 to 6 school in Mt Roskill Auckland, an area of planned present and future urban development. As part of a staged redevelopment to cater for anticipated population growth in the area, the school will move to a newly built teaching and learning space in 2023. The school hosts a satellite class for Central Auckland Special School (CASS).
“ We are empowered, respectful, responsible learners – ki te whakamana, manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga ma tātou ” are the values which guide the school’s strategic planning and everyday operations.
Wesley Primary ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
strengthen kaiako and kaiawhina capability to lead learning
empower tauira (students) to lead their learning
grow whānau and hapori (community) partnerships.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Wesley Primary School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the impact of the Wēteri Marau local curriculum and changes to teaching in a modern learning environment on learner progress and achievement.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
teachers are developing their teaching practices in the Wēteri Marau local curriculum to build learner empowerment and improve learning outcomes for all
the new classrooms provide innovative ways for teachers and learners to engage in teaching and learning.
The school expects to see:
teachers as leaders of learning by actively participating in professional learning and development
greater opportunities for learners to create, share and lead learning which reflects their culture, language and identi t y
the continued strengthening of whānau and community partnerships which support and celebrate learning and wellbeing.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate the impact of the Wēteri Marau local curriculum and changes to teaching in a modern learning environment on learner progress and achievement.
learners experience a school climate which is positive and culturally sustaining to promote engagement and learning
Māori learners are well supported to achieve success with a strong secure sense of their cultural identity
a commitment by the board, school leaders and teachers to deliver a responsive Wēteri Marau local curriculum which reflects the strengths and needs of the community.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
professional learning and development for teachers to assist with the transition to the new classroom spaces and ways of working
strengthening whānau and community partnerships which focus on hauora and celebrate learning success
embedding a culture of evaluation and analysis which draws information from a range of sources to support the development of the Wēteri Marau 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.

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.
