Our read on Hillmorton High School
A Caring School With Real Progress Still Needed
Hillmorton High School has made meaningful improvements since its 2022 ERO review, particularly in supporting students with additional needs and strengthening culturally responsive teaching. However, ERO has identified significant ongoing challenges around student attendance, equity in achievement outcomes, and consistent behaviour management that the school must now address as priorities.
