What would the day look like?
The practical things this school states on its own website — the hours, the uniform, the term dates, and how children get there. These are the school’s own words, not the Ministry’s record and not ERO’s.
Quoted from this school’s own website, as we read it on 13 August 2026. A web page carries no date of its own, so that is the day we read it — not a statement that any of this is still the case. Each line quotes the words it came from.

What does the school say about itself?
Quoted, not summarised. Every school describes itself well, so this is here to be read as the school’s own case rather than as a finding — and a school that states nothing simply has no row.

What did ERO find?
The Education Review Office reviews every school and publishes what it finds in full. We quote ERO’s report here, section by section, in ERO’s own words and order, and link to it. We do not summarise a report, pick a line out of one, or turn one into a score. How ERO reviews schools

- Board assurance
- The board attested to all areas (11 August 2023)
A board assurance statement is the board’s own account of whether it took all reasonable steps to meet its legal obligations, on the date shown. It is not ERO’s finding. ERO reports separately, in the same report, on any non-compliance it identified during that process.
The board assurance report of 11 August 2023 carries no actions-for-compliance section — the section ERO uses when it names non-compliance it identified. That is what this report contains; it is not ERO saying it found none. Other reports ERO holds for this school may say something different.
The roll ERO recorded, and when
ERO writes a roll into each report it publishes: a count taken for that report, on the day shown, by the review team that was there. The Ministry of Education’s current roll for this school is 80 — the figure at the top of this page, and the one to use for how big the school is now. These are a different measurement by a different body, so they will rarely agree, and a difference between them is not a change in the school.

This is one count taken for one report. It says what the roll was on that day, and nothing about how the roll has moved.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 11 August 2023 — “Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report” — section by section, under ERO’s own headings, in ERO’s own order. Nothing is summarised, shortened or reordered.
Background
This Profile Report was written within 12 months of the Education Review Office and KingsView School working in Te Ara Huarau , an improvement evaluation approach used in most English Medium State and State Integrated Schools. For more information about Te Ara Huarau see ERO’s website. www.ero.govt.nz
Context
KingsView School is situated in Frankton, Queenstown. It provides education for students in Years 1 – 8. The school’s Christian special character is woven through all learning areas. A principal was appointed in late 2021, and an all-new teaching team started in 2023. The school’s mission is to work in partnership with parents to provide a Christ-centred education, based on Biblical truths, which develops each child’s character, gifts and abilities to the glory of God.
KingsView School ’s strategic priorities to improve outcomes for learners are to:
complete special character professional development for staff
establish Positive Behaviour 4 Learning (PB4L) teaching systems
improve achievement in writing across the whole school.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on KingsView School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well the school is gathering, analysing and using high quality assessment information to improve teaching and learning and inform strategic decision making.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is leaders and teachers have identified a need to make better use of progress and achievement information to inform:
high quality teaching and learning programmes within classrooms
coherent curriculum design across the school
strategic planning for continuous improvement.
The school expects to see sufficient rates of progress and improved learning outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate how well it is gathering, analysing and using high quality assessment information to improve teaching and learning and inform strategic decision making:
the school’s special character and values are evident and help support a positive learning environment
English Language learners are integrated well into school life and a variety of support systems are in place to support them to learn English and access the wider curriculum.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
adopting assessment systems and processes to support consistent and effective teacher practice across the school
professional learning for leaders and teachers to build their capability in collection, analysis and use of data
students growing their capabilities in self and peer assessment to help them understand their next learning steps and use this information to accelerate their progress rates.
ERO has concerns about
The leadership of learning to effectively:
gather, use and analyse achievement information to inform schoolwide improvement
report high quality achievement information to trustees to support scrutiny and informed decision making.
Recommendation
The school continues to develop a plan to bring about the improvements identified. ERO has recommended that the Ministry of Education provide additional tailored support to the school.
The Ministry of Education is working alongside the school.
ERO’s role will be to support the school in its evaluation for improvement cycle to improve outcomes for all learners. ERO will support the school in reporting their progress to the community. The next public report on ERO’s website will be a Te Ara Huarau | School Evaluation Report and is due within three years.

ERO reviews a school every few years — around four years between reviews is the usual cycle — so an older date here reflects where a school sits in that cycle, not how it is doing.
