Our primary school in Auckland, and it's community, isn’t just made up of the great students and dedicated, enthusiastic and passionate teachers.  It is the parents, local community, the fundraising committee, the Board of Trustees in conjunction with the teaching staff - who together provide a quality primary education for every child who attends Vauxhall School.

The invaluable resources, equipment, and our variable space open classrooms reflect a modern learning environment, to further your child’s learning to build their confidence and a love of learning as they become respectful, young people.

At Vauxhall School We see play as an integral part of how children learn and grow. 'Play based learning' underpins our  programme in the Junior School and evolves into rich student-led learning in the senior school.

Our aim at Vauxhall Primary School is to develop self-assured, open minded children who possess a positive attitude to lifelong learning. 

Our school aims to:

• Deliver an 'age appropriate' curriculum
• Teach a balanced programme based on high expectations for achievement
• Empower children to become independent, lifelong learners
• Provide a challenging environment for children to take risks with learning
• Foster the development of children who are self-motivated, secure and responsible.
• Develop an appreciation of the unique nature of New Zealand heritage
• Promote positive partnerships between home, school and community

For parents considering primary schools in Auckland for their child or the parents of our students, our doors are always open.  Please feel free to come and visit our school to see what a welcoming and supportive environment we provide for our children.
