Welcome to Harewood School

Harewood School is a co-educational, contributing primary school catering for children from year 0-6, with a decile 8 Ministry of Education rating and a grading roll of about 195 pupils.

The school is located in a traditionally market gardening and orchard area on the periphery of Christchurch, near the Christchurch International Airport. It is close enough to the city for consumer convenience, yet set in a semi-rural area.

Harewood School was established in 1862 and has many lovely old English trees, a native bush area and a war memorial at it's entrance. In 2002 we celebrated our 140th Jubilee.

The philosophy of the school is to facilitate the development of all children in it's care, to their fullest potential. The children are given many opportunities to explore experiences which enhance learning and personal development. We have excellent support from parents who help in the classroom, on trips and with events.

At Harewood School we strive to develop children who are:
• confident, collaborative and connected
• strong in literacy and numeracy
• deep thinkers
• purposeful and productive learners
• living our school values

Enrolment Scheme

An enrolment scheme was implemented in the beginning of 2005 as a re-zoning of part of the green belt to residential has led to more families living in closer proximity to the school. In 2010 a ballot will occur in each term, for the following term.

The ballot for Term 3 places closes on Wed 5 May.

The ballot for Term 4 places closes on Wed 4 Aug.

Contact the school office for more information.
