ERO's latest report doesn't grade Te Kamo School
This report type doesn't grade schools — the Education Review Office (ERO) writes a Te Ara Huarau profile report to set up an evaluation rather than to judge the school. Te Kamo School's latest ERO profile report is from August 2022. This kind of report is used to set up ERO's evaluation with the school rather than to judge it, so the areas below are recorded as not assessed. ERO did note some findings about relationships, teaching practice and leadership, and it set out a list of priorities the school and ERO agreed to work on together.

How enrolment at Te Kamo School works
Ministry of Education enrolment-scheme status, and what it means for an application.
Te Kamo School has an enrolment scheme, so it has a home zone. A child who lives inside that zone is entitled to enrol. Check your street address against the boundary using the zone checker above — confirm the result with the school before relying on it.
Families outside the zone can apply only when the school offers out-of-zone places for the intake they need. When applications exceed the places available, the school works through the priority groups in this order, with a supervised random ballot inside an oversubscribed group:
- Students accepted for an approved special programme, where the school runs one
- Siblings of current students
- Siblings of former students
- Children of former students
- Children of school-board employees or board members
- All other applicants
Priority is not a guarantee: if a group has more applicants than places, that group goes to a ballot and the groups below it receive nothing in that round. Read our guide to out-of-zone enrolment and ballots for the application steps, evidence and deadlines.
