Welcome to Maidstone Intermediate School.  Our school is situated in the centre of Upper Hutt City and caters for the middle school years (11-13 years).  We pride ourselves on providing a safe, stimulating and challenging learning environment. We offer all students a wide variety of academic, cultural and sporting opportunities that set them on a path to be productive, life-long learners.  We are a kura where learners thrive!

Our five core values of Whanautanga, Respect, Mana, Freedom and Creativity form the heart of Maidstone.  Maidstone students and staff alike understand and practice these values. This leads to a secure, caring and supportive environment for our tamariki.

The pre-adolescent years are an exciting time - a time when students are beginning to view the world and their part in it with new awareness and understanding. At Maidstone Intermediate we recognise that these years are unique and require programmes that meet the specific needs of this age group. 

Our local curriculum is based on the NZ Curriculum framework and is underpinned by four key Principles; the Treaty of Waitangi, High Expectations, Learning to Learn, and Future Focus.  These principles ensure our learning programmes are designed to equip our students to be learners in the 21st century. 

Open communication and connections with our community are essential and we invite you to participate in your child’s learning and encourage you to support the many educational activities throughout the year.  We welcome you to the vibrant and stimulating kura that is Hinepohatu/Maidstone Intermediate.
