Our read on Porirua Montessori Primary School
School Meets All Private School Registration Criteria
ERO conducted a private school registration review of Porirua Montessori Primary School in June 2024, finding that it meets all required criteria for registration under New Zealand law. It is important for parents to understand that this type of ERO review is more limited in scope than reviews conducted for state schools, focusing only on minimum registration requirements rather than a broader evaluation of educational quality. The school was confirmed as meeting all eight registration criteria, including safety, staffing, curriculum, and premises.
