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 (13 March 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 13 March 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 187 — 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.

We draw no line between these. Each was counted for its own report, years apart, by a different review team, and a roll moves between reviews for reasons none of these figures record — so the difference between any two of them measures nothing.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 13 March 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 18 months of the Education Review Office and Manaia View 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
Manaia View School is located in Raumanga, Whangarei. It provides education for students in years 1 to 8. Manaia View School believes strongly in its mission statement “ Whakatinana te Moemoea – Give body to the dream”. As a kura, it is known for its inclusive whānau atmosphere, in which akonga are challenged to live their dream and be the best they can, in an environment where they feel supported in doing so. With the majority of students being Māori, the kura focuses on Māori succeeding as Māori through the localised Mana Whenua Marau .
Manaia View School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
to raise student engagement and outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics through relevant learning contexts that are based on our Mana Whenua Marau and reflect our rich cultural identity as Māori
ensure Te Whare Tapa Wha is integrated into all aspects of teaching and learning programmes with an emphasis on developing trauma informed practices to meet individual needs and support learners.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Manaia View School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively the implementation of the kura`s localised curriculum is impacting student engagement and outcomes.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is the kura has been on a journey over the last two years, understanding and developing a localised Marau with support from mana whenua and its school community. From this, Manaia View School has developed their own “Localised - Place Based Marau ”, enabling akonga to access Te Ao Māori, the Māori world, language, culture and tikanga. The school has high expectations for graduating students, while being fully supported by whanau, iwi and wider community ensuring Tūwhai Ngākau Tangata Māori (the graduate profile), represents the areas of focus, aligned to the marau, giving akonga benchmarks for attainment at different year levels.
Manaia View School is focused on equity and excellence. Central to this has been a deliberate move from
acknowledging the Treaty of Waitangi to enacting Te Tiriti O Waitangi. The school expects to see the kura’s continued commitment to engaging learners and raising achievement in reading, writing and mathematics whilst ensuring that learning contexts reflect our culture, language and heritage.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support it in its goal of how effectively the implementation of the kura`s localised curriculum is impacting student engagement and outcomes:
commitment to “ Te Tiriti o Waitangi”, enabling the opportunities for Māori to achieve as Māori while developing language and cultural practices
genuine partnership with Mana Whenua, ensuring the writing and implementation of the kura` s marau is inclusive of Te Parawhau stories, tikanga , language, understandings and aspirations for its peoples
strong leadership that promotes, continuous development of and implementation of innovative solutions to engage all learners whilst also prioritising student needs and staff wellbeing
embedded self -review and internal evaluation processes that include timely milestone reporting, data analysis, wh ā nau surveys and programme reviews timetabled throughout the year to know the impact of innovations on student outcomes.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
continuing to implement current evidence-based practices in all curriculum areas
further development of kaiako pedagogy, understanding and implementation of Te Ao Māori, through the localised Marau including opportunities to learn Te Reo Māori
continued focus on trauma informed practices to provide staff with the specialist practices required to support individual akonga.
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.
