High Praise for Takapuna Grammar

Takapuna Grammar School has just come out of a regular Education Review Office (ERO) review of the school and we have received very strong positive feedback. One of the greatest features, acknowledged by the ERO team, is the quality of our students. We know this and are pleased the ERO team were able to also appreciate the quality of our young people. Thankfully, this enables every day to be a positive and dynamic experience for all TGS students.

Some comments from the latest ERO report:
“Students at Takapuna Grammar School on Auckland’s North Shore are confident and friendly and are proud of their school’s history and traditions. They benefit from a student-focused and inclusive school culture and enjoy learning within a stimulating physical environment”.

“The school’s curriculum framework (Knowing, Connecting, Relating, Supporting) is well understood by students who talk positively about their learning and the many opportunities they have to succeed”.

“School leaders ensure that academic, cross-curricular and co-curricular learning programmes are responsive to students’ interests, strengths and needs”.

“Staff participation in high quality professional learning has supported the development of good teaching practice across the school”.

“Students continue to achieve very well at all year levels and in all learning areas of the school”.

“Levels of student engagement are high. Students have access to strong pastoral support, provided by teachers and through a range of peer support programmes”.

“Students are encouraged to participate fully in the wider social and co-curricular life of the school. They speak positively about their experiences in the school and the friendly and welcoming manner of the teachers”.

“The Education Review Office have determined that they do not need to review the school again for another 4-5 years.”
