The North Porirua Kāhui Ako includes:

One contributing school, nine full primary schools, and one secondary school.

The North Porirua Kāhui Ako was established in 2016.

Geographically, schools are located beside the eastern side of the Porirua Harbour, surrounding the Pauatahanui Inlet, the seaside community of Plimmerton and North to Pukerua Bay.

One Catholic primary school caters for students in years 1-6, and all other primary schools cater for students from years 1-8.

The secondary school provides education for years 9-13.

One school is a semi-rural location and draws its students from a wide geographic area, as does the secondary school.
