Ebbett Park Primary School was opened in 1960 and is situated on the south-western boundary of the City of Hastings. It is a contributing school catering for children from Years 1 to 6, with a decile rating of 1b. It has a roll of 190 children with a good ethnic mix of European, Maori and Pacific Island students all who contribute to the overall culture of the school.

The school draws its clients from a range of socio and economic groups. They are a very supportive community and involve themselves in many aspects of school life. The roll is reasonably static enabling the class sizes to be relatively small in number with all classes being under 30 in the senior school and in the junior school under 25.

The school presents a safe attractive environment with excellent facilities and 2002 saw the construction of a Multi-Purpose/Hall Facility which enhanced the delivery of the curriculum even further. In the near future the present classrooms will be modernised and a new Library is planned along with further enhancement of the environment.
