The Ministry of Education’s Education Counts website has useful data about schools, including the number of pupils, attendance records, and how the students are performing against National Standards or qualifications.
Schooling is compulsory in New Zealand from age six to 16.
The Education Review Office (ERO) website has a link to each school’s performance report. ERO is the government office that assesses the performance of schools. It assesses every school in New Zealand at least once every three years and publishes its reports online.
The government uses a calculation to decide how much funding a school needs. It reflects the percentage of the school’s students that live in low socio-economic or poorer communities. Lower decile schools have more students living in poorer communities.
The decile rating is a reflection of the community the school serves, not a measure of the school’s quality

Ardmore flying school - get ready for take off!
Ardmore Flying School has been training pilots since 1961 and is recognised internationally as a quality facility, providing consistently high standards in all aspects of flight training.Ardmore Flying School is our number 1 pick for flying in New Zealand and here’s why:
International airlines are now appreciating that students who embark on “low cost/low quality” training are unsuitable for the job without comprehensive retraining. The New Zealand training system is recognised for its high quality and comprehensive syllabus. That’s why more and more international airline customers are choosing New Zealand and Ardmore Flying School
Our training programmes will meet the price test. Compare our programmes line-for-line with your cheapest quote, we will show you the difference
Learn within one of the worlds oldest and most respected flight training industries.
The New Zealand flight training industry started in 1915 with the onset of the First World War, so the industry here is well established with protocols and standards forged over many, many years of practice. Ardmore Flying School is NZ’s largest privately owned flight school, operational since 1961 & under the same ownership since 1978. The management team alone at Ardmore Flying School has combined industry experience of 176 years in aviation training, including airline, helicopter, military, GA instructional & “warbirds” experience.
New Zealand is renowned for its beauty and diversity. Within a very short distance, you can experience the beauty of the surrounding oceans, native forests, rolling hills, mountains and magnificent beaches. The range of climatic conditions also challenge your skills. Airlines now recognise the risks of employing “fair weather” pilots, those graduates who are only used to flying over flat ground on a cloudless day. By training in NZ with Ardmore Flying School, you will become a more skilled and competent pilot better qualified to cope with all the meteorological and geographical challenges you will face in your aviation career.
Ardmore Flying School, like all NZ education providers, is required by New Zealand law to ensure all student funds paid in advance are locked away in a Public Trust or lawyers trust account. This means if an NZ flight training provider encounters financial difficulty or you cease training for any reason, your funds are safe and there is no risk of losing your fees paid in advance. This programme is uniquely New Zealand.
Easily transfer your qualifications to your home country.
When you obtain a New Zealand aviation qualification, you can be assured that your training will be recognised by your home regulator and air transport operators. Your NZ training will position you as a respected professional pilot, as the international aviation industry puts real value on the New Zealand license/qualifications.
For suitably qualified graduates, Ardmore Flying School has an internship programme, designed to give graduates their first start in their aviation career. We employ all our future instructors from our internship programme. International students who graduate with our Diploma in Aviation (Flight Instruction) are eligible to apply for an “Open Work Visa”, which will allow them to potentially start a career with us. But be warned, our standards are high, only top performers will be considered.
While we can’t stress enough the importance on being focused in your studies, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy everything that New Zealand has to offer. Based in Auckland (NZ’s largest city), Ardmore Flying School is surrounded by beautiful landscapes and beaches, with opportunities for students to take in some of our natural attractions and activities. You will also fly over some of the worlds most beautiful terrain.
All our equipment is kept up to date and relevant, and maintained to the very highest standards. We operate a large fleet, so aircraft availability is never an issue. We also maintain a low instructor/student ratio so that you get the very best personal attention during your training.
But make no mistake, whilst we provide all the latest facilities and equipment, you are still required to do the hard work required to achieve your aviation ambition. Only you can do this.
Ardmore Flying School allows you to put the “finishing touches” on your CV by providing all the advanced training you require to be “employment ready”. By completing our advanced courses, you will be better equipped to demonstrate a higher level of competency with any potential employer.
