Terrible
We haven't had a good experience with new management at all. There's a general feeling the children are worse off now than previously

Shockingly led.
The leadership at this school has fallen below acceptable standards. The school principal is clearly a bully with staff constantly challenged openly and a directive not to speak to the board (go to him on any issues). There is some very poor behavior at the top and a recent staff feedback session was more focused on staff views around the principal. (do they like and respect the leader) that important matters relating to the community and parents view of the outcomes being gained. Feedback was not allowed to be anonymous. Other parents are taking kids out and the school is poorly run with staff who are clearly being "managed" by a poor leader. The board needs to act.

Ministry needs to step in and manage the school and board.
As predicted the review was taken down by Simon Pearce. I am beyond angry at the lack of management at the school since Chris started. The board are letting him run rings around them and continually refuse to manage any of the serious issues at the School. Bullying is rife this includes management, who have bullied countless teacher to leave. Constant inappropriate behaviour from Chris to students, staff and parents, including affairs. those that can are removing their kids from this school, and yes that included board members - so that tells you everything you need to know!

They need to change their ways
Not an inclusive school for neurodiverse Tamariki. They were dismissive and not open about listening to my child's needs, said they would not get "special treatment" they obviously know nothing about neurodiversity or about equity vs equality in the classroom. Lots of negative feedback from other parents. We live in Plimmerton and went out of zone because this school ticked no boxes. I dont understand why people are snobby and think it's superior when it's clearly lacking. A high teacher turnover and lack of community feeling and kindness. Look elsewhere. Also overflowing with kids. Go to paremata, pukerua bay, papakowhai, pauatahanui, rangikura, st Ts, anywhere else.
