About

Inglewood Primary is a decile 5 primary school catering for 340 students from Year 0 – Year 8 and is the main provider of state primary education within Inglewood. Inglewood Primary is part of Kahui Ako o te Kohanga Moa / Inglewood Community of Learning.  Roll composition is 63% European, 28% Maori, 2% Pacifica and 7% other ethnic groups. There are relatively high numbers of transient students. The school has established an agreed philosophy and direction it believes will enable its students to develop the competencies and attitudes required for successful citizenship. There is a positive relationship between the school and its community which is strengthened by the Mutukaroa and Kahui Ako o Kohanga Moa initiatives. The community varies in its expectations of the school around achievement, behaviour, personal work skills and habits. An active Parent Link organisation supports the staff and the Board in its initiatives and enjoys a positive partnership within the school community. The school is currently staffed with 13 classroom teachers. The Board contributes towards additional staffing provisions. Leadership positions consist of Principal, two Associate Principals and five Team leaders; Junior, Middle, Senior, Intermediate and Support Staff. Our blocks are structured in Whanau Blocks: Panitahi =  0-2, Puke Haupapa = 7-8, Pouakai  = 3-4 Waiongana iti  =  5-6 celebrating Tikanga Maori Values collaboration, modelling and inquiry learning. A number of support workers (both paid and voluntary) assist with the delivery of special needs
