    Based in Havelock North, in beautiful Hawke’s Bay, Hereworth School has been educating boys for almost 100 years. We are one of New Zealand’s leading independent preparatory schools, catering for boys aged 5 to 13.
    At Hereworth, we let every boy be his own “man” – focusing on his potential by developing his confidence within a firm, fair, friendly, and fun environment. We nourish his spirit – and we help him to enjoy and celebrate being a boy. Make the best decision for boys. Boy’s first school will be one of the most important and influential choices you make for him. You want the best for him, and want to make sure that he will discover his strengths in a supportive environment with teachers who give him the individual attention he deserves. Hereworth School will give him all this and more.

    We understand boys and have created an environment that is designed to get the best out of them. We have a specialized focus on educating boys at the primary school level. Everything we do at Hereworth is designed to enhance your son’s learning, living and social skills during the incredibly important years of five through to thirteen. There’s a reason why this is called primary education – because it’s of primary importance to how and what your child learns. Boys are often misunderstood and labeled as ‘naughty’, ‘challenging’ or ‘lacking concentration’: we understand that boys need space, they need challenges and they need to be active learners. We have a school where boys can be boys, where they aren’t afraid to speak up and ask questions, and where good boys become great men.

    Located in the friendly community of Havelock North, Hereworth is set amongst 22 acres of established park-like grounds. We have many highly regarded academic, social and sporting amenities on our campus. These include a top-quality cricket oval, large grounds catering for all major sports, astroturf courts, hard court areas, and a swimming pool.
    Two adventure playgrounds, along with various hedges, trees, banks, and the wilderness area of ‘Scouts Gully’, provide plenty of challenges for the boys in their breaks from the classroom program. There is plenty of room for boys to run, chase, hide and use their imaginations.
    In collaboration with the boy’s family, we focus on academic success aligned with social, emotional, spiritual, creative, and physical well-being. We develop specific programs to maximize our influence on all our young boys’ minds, hearts, and hands. We want our boys to experience life! We want to engage boys’ spirit and wonder, to become motivated, passionate, caring and compassionate, not squash it. We are advocates of responsible risk-taking and encourage it. Our focus is on excellence in education. Learning is life-long and so we have carefully considered our curriculum to best meet the needs of primary-aged boys.
    We offer a wide range of subjects, even for our youngest students. Our classrooms are fully equipped with technology and e-learning is incorporated into daily class life.
    Core subjects of Literacy and Numeracy, as well as integrated units (Science, Health, Tech, and Social Science), are a key focus at the new entrant level. This is supported by music, speech and drama, art, languages, religious education, and physical education/Hauora, resulting in a well-rounded curriculum.
    We also tailor a specialized physical education and sports program for our youngest ones. The opportunity to join sports teams is optional for the very young, and we find most of them take it up. Specialist coaches of the highest caliber are brought in to coach the boys throughout the year, and we also take the boys to weekly swimming lessons.
