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 (18 April 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 18 April 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 216 — 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.

Counted while ERO’s review team was at the school. Education Review Office, report of 12 August 2016
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 18 April 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 10 months of the Education Review Office and Reignier Catholic 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
Reignier Catholic School, in the Napier suburb of Greenmeadows, has children in Years 1 to 6. The special Catholic character is upheld through the core beliefs and values of, respect – manaakitanga , community - hapori and service – ratonga .
Reignier Catholic School ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
to encounter and witness Christ through authentic Catholic education
to reach their highest potential, to fully participate and work towards being active members of their community
to foster and grow a sense of personal identity and belonging as a child of Christ.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Reignier Catholic School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the extent to which teacher professional development in adaptive and responsive practices results in improved progress and achievement outcomes for all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
to understand and respond to the diverse needs of learners through adaptive teaching practice that remove barriers to learning, resulting in improved student outcomes
the introduction of new curriculums requires review and adaptation of teaching practices and delivery.
The school expects to see:
responsive teaching practice that adapts to meet the needs of students to support equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners
assessment practices used by staff to inform teaching and learning programmes.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to respond to diverse learning needs through adaptive and responsive practice:
a shared sense of purpose and identity that unites students, staff and the school community in collaborative and trustful relationships
students participate and learn in a caring, and inclusive learning community
a culture of continual improvement builds teacher capacity and encourages challenging and appropriate expectations for student learning.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
reviewing assessment for learning practices and principles to ensure the best possible information is gathered, analysed and used
professional learning to further build staff capability in implementing responsive and adaptive teaching
on-going review of the localised curriculum and its delivery to ensure it meets the needs of students and school community through an authentic Catholic lens
continued inquiry into student progress supported by professional dialogue to share good practice.
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.
