Somerfield Te Kura Wairepo has a Ministry of Education enrolment scheme. Children within the boundaries of that zone have an absolute right of entry.

Out of Zone Enrolments 

We are not currently taking out of zone enrolments
Due to the ongoing growth in local demand and the need to deliver a high quality learning environment for our in-zone students, it is no longer possible to offer out-of-zone enrolment options, including for siblings of current students. This means the Board’s current practice of holding a ballot is unlikely to continue for the foreseeable future unless we see a significant drop in current enrolments.

Our primary focus as a local community school will be to ensure that we can accommodate all in-zone students comfortably, and in an effective learning environment that is not overcrowded.

We understand this may be disappointing for some families, and we want to assure you that this decision has been made with careful consideration of our school’s capacity and the well-being of all our students. We are committed to keeping you informed as circumstances develop, and are here to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate these changes.
