These measure how a school responds to behaviour, and schools set their own thresholds, so they are not a measure of how students behave.
What ERO found
The Education Review Office’s latest report on the school is a School Report from May 2026. ERO found success and progress rising for all learners, with high quality teaching and well embedded structured literacy and maths programmes.
Most students meet the expected curriculum level in reading, writing and maths; results are equitable across groups in reading and writing and becoming more equitable in maths, and the school is meeting the government’s achievement targets.
A large majority of students attend regularly and the school is approaching the government’s attendance target. ERO also noted a knowledge-rich curriculum that reflects whānau aspirations and students’ cultures, a wide range of wellbeing initiatives, strong collaboration among staff, and well-run provision for international students, who are included in school life.
The priorities are to strengthen the explicit teaching of structured maths so that students needing extra help make faster progress, bring in new assessment tools that show progress and learning goals clearly, and lift regular attendance and keep it high.

Students who live in the home zone have the right to enrol, and the school checks proof of address before an enrolment is accepted.
Out-of-zone places are offered under the school’s enrolment scheme, by ballot when there are more applicants than places, with priority for siblings of current and former students. The school publishes its out-of-zone ballot dates on its enrolment page each year.
New entrants start in intakes during each term after their fifth birthday, with a transition programme and school visits beforehand.
