Sherwood School

Sherwood School is located in the beautiful Central Hawke’s Bay. The school boasts some of the most exquisite views of the Ruahine Ranges and the surrounding country side. We are very lucky as a community to have school grounds and buildings that are vibrant, cutting edge and homely.

The teaching staff at Sherwood School are innovative and dynamic professionals that cater to the needs of each individual child and who take time to engage in various community activities.

At Sherwood School we aim for our pupils to:


• Realise their potential academically, creatively and in sport.

• Prepare for academic challenges that lie ahead so that they are properly equipped to excel in the next stage of their education and have started to become independent life long learners.

• Develop moral values, an awareness of what it means to be a good citizen and respect for others.

• Experience a balanced diversity of academic, cultural and sporting opportunities so that they can discover and develop their own interests and talents.

• Grow as individuals by developing self confidence, self reliance, an openness to new ideas and ability to take initiative.

• Enjoy being a member of a happy, functioning community and contributing to the life of the school.
