2026 Vision

For our LEGENDs to progress through our localised curriculum, with learning opportunities that are Te Tiriti centred, while supporting language development, encouraging problem solving and increasing attendance through engagement in learning.

Te Whakapapa o Cloverlea / About Us

Te Kura o Cloverlea is a LEGENDary contributing school that caters for tamariki from New Entrants through to Year 6. 
​
At Te Kura o Cloverlea we aim to build whānaungatanga and create an environment in which the whānau, staff and our community work together to provide the best possible education for our LEGENDs.  

We have a highly experienced, quality staff who are committed to providing an education that best meets the needs of all tamariki.  Classes work collaboratively together so that the students get the very best from every kaiako.  We are passionate about ensuring our classroom practice enacts Te Tiriti o Waitangi and that our learning programmes are unique to Aotearoa. Staff are dedicated to ensuring that all Cloverlea LEGENDs reach their potential, while also embracing their culture and recognising their individuality. 

Our localised curriculum has been designed with our tomokanga as the anchor for learning. Designed and carved by Matua Craig Kawana, Rāngitane master carver, our tomokanga is the first thing you see when you enter our kura. The pūrakau (traditional Māori oral stories) and history depicted on our tomokanga are the visual representation of contexts all LEGENDs will learn through during their time at Cloverlea. 

The school opened in 1975, with ongoing refurbishments over recent years to make our learning spaces flexible and inviting. There are thirteen teaching classrooms, a spacious hall, a swimming pool, an all-weather turf, a range of LEGENDary outside play areas, along with an amazing new Basketball Court and beautiful sensory garden, Te Mara o Rongo, added in 2025.​

​Something that makes us unique is that our grounds open out to Cloverlea Park, meaning we can use the park and playground easily as part of learning, our bike track is bigger and we have a lot more space to spread out for school events and class and team activities. Te Kura o Cloverlea grounds are an inviting community space that we encourage you to enjoy and be kaitiaki of outside of school hours. While parts of our kura are fenced, there are no plans to fully fence to ensure our LEGENDs have the best opportunities to access large grounds for all their educational needs. 

​We encourage you to come for a visit and see how wonderful being part of the Te Kura o Cloverlea community really is.​We invite you to explore our site and discover the learning and community Te Kura o Cloverlea provides to each and every LEGEND.
