Glenfield Primary School

Welcome to Glenfield Primary School, located in Auckland on Chivalry Road. As a primary school, we are dedicated to providing a rewarding and enjoyable educational experience for our students. We believe in fostering lifelong, independent learning skills and empowering our students to take responsibility for their own education through inquiry-based learning.

At Glenfield Primary School, our teachers are committed to providing the best learning opportunities for your child. We strive for high levels of academic success, particularly in the key focus areas of literacy and numeracy. Our diverse student body comes from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, and we value and celebrate this diversity. We offer a variety of cultural and sporting groups, and we are proud of our students' achievements in these areas.

We welcome you to visit our school at any time and encourage your active involvement in our school community and your child's learning journey. We believe that student wellbeing is crucial to their success, and we work to cultivate a safe and supportive learning environment where students can reach their full potential.

Through student inquiry, our students develop important skills such as asking questions, gathering and analyzing information, and learning to learn. This inquiry-based approach allows them to tackle real-world questions and problems in authentic contexts, both locally and globally.

We understand that every individual is unique, and we embrace and recognize individual differences. We value the ability of people to learn from each other and treat each other with respect, as this diversity brings a wealth of new ideas and experiences.

Technology plays a significant role in our curriculum, and all students have access to school-owned and managed devices. With a 1:1 ratio of Chromebooks/laptops in the senior classes and a 1:2 ratio of iPads in the rest of the school, we seamlessly integrate technology into our teaching and learning practices.

Glenfield Primary School has a strong sense of community engagement. We hold regular consultation and information communication evenings to provide our community with updates on program direction and student achievement. Our open and collaborative learning environments welcome community involvement, and we encourage strong links with families and regular feedback.

Online safety is a top priority for us, and we have partnered with Family Zone, New Zealand's leading provider of cyber safety and digital-awareness tools and services. Through Family Zone, we ensure that our students are protected from online harm while still being able to take advantage of the incredible possibilities the internet offers.

We are excited to have you as part of the Glenfield Primary School community and look forward to a successful and fulfilling educational journey for your child.
