Porritt School is situated in the heart of Tamatea, in Ahuriri, Napier. This year the roll begins around 315 students and ends the year with approximately 360 students. There is a basic staff entitlement of 19 teachers. For our tamariki, this means classes size averaging 23 students. We also believe in high quality support around tamariki, so have a number of skilled and experienced Learning Support staff.
We are lucky to have numerous classrooms, together with an assembly hall, a covered turf, a Discovery Space, various resource rooms, along with the administration area, three adventure playgrounds, and a 25m school pool.
This year we are excited to see a number of projects get underway. A major classroom space for our Year 6 learners is being redeveloped and enhanced, Our school frontage is undergoing some landscaping with the long term goal being the addition of whakairo - carvings to the steel waharoa entranceway. Lot's of exciting things happening inside and outside our learning spaces - watch this space!
