Welcome to Alfredton School

We are a small rural country school in the Tararua District which caters for children from Years 0 to 8.

The school has a long tradition, having been established in 1887. It has progressed from its early beginnings and proudly offers excellent learning opportunities within a family based atmosphere. Our school is a very special place and thrives in a caring and supportive community.

Our motto is ‘Little Acorns to Mighty Oaks’. Our motto is based around the 80 year old oak trees which line the original entrance to our wonderful school. We encourage all of our children to uphold our MIGHTY values of being motivated, inclusive, giving respect, honesty, teamwork and you persevere.

Thank you for taking the time to see what a great school we have in our peaceful and idyllic haven. Please drop in anytime to see us in action.

Possible Strike - 23rd October

7 Oct 2025

You may have seen in the media talk of a NZEI Union member strike on Thursday 23rd October. This is not yet official as the formal notice has not been presented to school Boards but an informal notice has been made. If an official strike notice is presented the Board will decide if there are enough non-union members to remain open, if not the Board may decide to close our school on Thursday 23rd October. A closure is unlikely as the majority of staff are not members of NZEI. Further information will follow if a formal strike notice is received.
