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 (26 February 2024)
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 26 February 2024 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 10 — 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 26 February 2024 — “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 6 months of the Education Review Office and Mauriceville 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
Mauriceville School is a small country school situated north east of Masterton. It provides learning opportunities for learners in Years 1 to 8 in a rural context.
Mauriceville School ’s strategic priorities are to:
deliver a curriculum that reflects local character, needs and environment, engages students and provides equitable opportunities to learn and succeed
provide an environment that supports wellbeing, effective teaching and learning with a focus on the environment and sustainability.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Mauriceville School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the impact of changes to the teaching of junior literacy and how this is supporting students to become confident and competent learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is a desire to:
lift achievement in reading and writing, especially in Years 1 to 4
enhance the ability of all students to access and succeed across the wider curriculum.
The school expects to see improved outcomes in reading and writing in the junior class. It also expects to see students actively engaged in their learning and empowered to achieve educational success across the curriculum.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate the impact of changes to the teaching of junior literacy and how this is supporting students to become confident and competent learners.
A learning environment where students are ready to learn and feel safe to make mistakes.
Teachers willing to make changes to their practice to improve learning opportunities for students.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
further development of opportunities for students to grow their literacy skills, confidence and a positive attitude to reading and writing
providing support to staff to develop their understanding of effective teaching in literacy.
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.

All 5 reports ERO holds for this school
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.
