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 is on offer beyond the classroom?
The sports, arts, clubs and groups this school names on its own website. Not a complete list of what any school offers, and not a count — a school that names more here has written more down, which is not the same as doing more.

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 (30 January 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 30 January 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 71 — 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 30 January 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 twenty months of the Education Review Office and Roseneath 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
Roseneath School is situated in Wellington and caters for students in Years 0 to 8.
Roseneath’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
empower all ākonga to be actively involved and striving in their learning
strengthen the systems, practices, and environments that promote positive behaviour for learning
enable ākonga , whānau and the wider community to participate in collaborative partnerships for learning
advance our collective understanding of Aotearoa’s bicultural heritage, and champion te reo me ona tikanga Māori as part of our everyday learning experience.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Roseneath’s website.
ERO and the school have been working together to evaluate the impact of championing te reo me ona tikanga Māori as part of everyday learning experiences for all ākonga , and to provide a culturally affirming learning environment for Māori students to flourish.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation was that the school wanted to ensure that development of its cultural responsiveness strategies, which it will continue to evolve over time, will support and grow students’ bicultural understanding and practices.
From the work already underway, the school expects to see:
increased schoolwide knowledge and use of te reo and tikanga Māori
a deeper understanding of the local area’s history and Aotearoa's unique identity
improved wellbeing outcomes for Māori students
Māori students’ culture, language, and identity are highly valued.
Strengths
The school can draw from an increased awareness of the importance of cultural understanding within its board, staff and community and the following strengths
high quality affirmative inquiry that informs continuous improvement
open communication with an engaged community.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will continue to prioritise:
empowering ākonga , whānau, teachers and the wider community to participate in collaborative partnerships for learning
actively engaging with Rōpu Whānau to share aspirations for learners
development of shared understandings of local historical narratives and incorporate these in teaching and learning programmes to advance collective understanding of Aotearoa ’s bicultural heritage
championing te reo me ngā tikanga Māori as part of everyday learning experiences.
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.
