At Gracefield School we are committed to supporting students to achieve their potential in all aspects of the New Zealand Curriculum.
To help students reach their potential we provide additional teacher support for our youngest students, so they get off to a flying start.
Our Gracefield curriculum is in the process of being developed in consultation with our community. It is driven by our ‘EPIC’ values.
At Gracefield School we are EPIC learners.
ABout us
Gracefield School is a city school located in Lower Hutt. We are a contributing school, with students from years 1 – 6. Most of our students go on to Hutt Intermediate.
The school was opened in 1939 with just two classrooms. Today we have nine classrooms and a roll that ranges between 200 and 250 students.
Positive behaviour
We use the restorative justice system to teach children how to behave appropriately. It focuses on repairing harm rather than punishing. In 2023 we will be learning about Positive Behaviour for Learning School Wide. You can find more about this on the following page:
Acknowledging Positive Behaviour.
School community
There is a strong sense of community in our school. The PTA has been active for many years now, raising a significant amount of money each year. This is used to provide resources that would otherwise not be available to the children.
School zone
We have an enrolment policy that may restrict us in taking students from outside the zone. If you would like to know more about this, please contact the school.
