OUR KURA TODAY

Porritt School is situated in the heart of Tamatea, in Ahuriri, Napier. This year the roll begins around 280 students and ends the year with approximately 340 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.
