Our wonderful school is situated in an attractive rural setting five kilometres north west of Albany, twenty kilometres north of Auckland city. 
We have a stunning natural environment, making it a wonderful place to maximise teaching and learning.
Coatesville School provides a basis for high quality learning through a challenging, supportive, stimulating and caring environment. Opportunities are created to develop and support the strengths and talents of all individual students. 
Students are encouraged to take responsibility for, and be involved in, their own learning. 
Positive partnerships between the school and the community are valued and nurtured. The school is highly regarded for its academic and sporting achievements and innovative programmes. The students' attitudes and interpersonal relationship skills are reflected in very positive work habits and high standards of behaviour.
