Weston School is a Full Primary (Yrs 1-8) school. The school has a mix of learning spaces – single cell and open plan environments. Some of these are new classrooms as the result of roll growth and other classrooms have recently been upgraded. Teachers work within one of three teams (Yrs 1-3, Yrs 3-6 or Yrs 6-8). The school has expansive grounds with a range of facilitiies. The school has a roll of 270 students (25/11/2025) from an increasingly diverse range of ethnicities (72% European/Pakeha, 11% Maori, 3% MELAA, 2% Pasifika, 9% Asian, 3% Other).

The school is situated in the centre of the township of Weston, and services the wide rural area around it. This enables it to have a strong rural feel, but being able to offer many opportunities with the size that the school is. The school has an enrolment zone area, in which there are a number of subdivisions being developed, and as a result of these the roll is growing. 

Weston School has very strong community involvement, both within the school and beyond the school gates. There is a close relationship with a number of community groups, businesses and industries, and individuals who support learning programmes. There is a very committed Home and School Association who provide significant funding to enable additional activities that the Operational Funding cannot meet. The school’s Board of Trustees are also a committed group, who are dedicated to ensuring Weston School is successful in providing the best education for the children of Weston. We pride ourselves in our very inclusive environment.

Teachers at Weston School are committed to providing high quality programmes and experiences for students. As a result there are an exciting and diverse range of opportunities for children in the school. EnviroSchools is well embedded in our school and underpins much of the way the school operates.  We are reknown for our talented Kapahaka groups, Choir, Enviro Group, and sports teams (basketball, miniball, touch, hockey, futsal). Students also experience a number of opportunities for learning outside of the classroom, through a range of class trips and camps. Senior students are provided with a number of opportunities to develop leadership skills and experiences. 

We have created a number innovative opportunities in our school through the development of facilities. This includes a Maker Space that supports the teaching of Digital Technologies across the curriculum,  a space for our Gifted and Talented programme, and a multipurpose learning area for classes to utilise our extensive Science and Technology resources and teaching strengths.  We have a Kitchen Classroom. A small building that houses three full kitchens and enables groups of children to undertake a range of cooking opportunities.  We have a multisport turf, which as well as being another hard court surface for our students to play on, it also enables our hockey teams to be practice on a surface similar to which they play on weekly. Our Music room is extensively resourced and provides a rich resource for both classroom teaching and also supports our Out of Hours Music Programme.

We are working closely with the local early childhood centres and kindergartens to support the transition of students into our school, and also with the local secondary schools to ensure transitions for our students out of our school are also beneficial for all.

At Weston we encourage the involvement of family/whānau and community involvement. We have staff, students and whānau who are committed to ensuring that our children are provided with the highest quality education, across all learning areas. Students are excited learners who are a pleasure to teach.
