Gateway to the Years Ahead

The Primary School is very much a gateway to the years ahead at Middleton Grange. The first years of primary education establish foundations for the future. The aim of all Primary School staff is to develop the gifts of each child in our care. 

We encourage all children to strive towards their full potential academically, socially and spiritually. Biblical teaching is woven through the curriculum and directly applied in classroom programmes. Parents play a vital role in the Primary School. We provide a varied and interesting programme with a strong emphasis on numeracy and literacy.

Excellent resources, teacher professionalism and innovation are strengths in the Primary School.

Middleton Grange Primary School is held in high regard for its firm, structured environment within which individual students feel very special.  

In Maori Turangawaewae speaks of the place we stand - both physical and spiritual.

Four schools in one...    

Middleton Grange School was established in 1964 and takes it's name from an historic homestead, 
which now houses our Primary library, the Computer Lab, and provides office space.

  A strong home-school partnership. Parents' views and wisdom are a valuable resource to staff.   All staff are committed Christians, well trained, and involved in ongoing professional development.   The New Zealand curriculum is faithfully delivered in quality fashion from a Biblical perspective.   High standards of behaviour are expected and students are taught to take ownership of their own behaviour.   Learning support is a priority at all levels.
Opportunities for remedial and extension work are a feature of the school.
