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.

- Special character
- The New Zealand Religious Education Curriculum is used across all levels of the school. The focus is integrated throughout class programmes and the whole school environment. Our values are linked to the Mercy Values introduced by the Sister's of Mercy, over one hundred years ago.

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 (12 April 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 12 April 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 220 — 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.

What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 12 April 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 6 months of the Education Review Office and St Annes School, (Newtown) 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
St Anne’s School, located in Wellington provides education for learners from years 1 to 8.
St Annes School, (Newtown)’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to provide a holistic, inclusive and safe learning environment that promotes self-efficacy and love of life, where all cultures are valued in mutual partnership by tamariki , kaiako , whānau and the church community.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on St Annes School, (Newtown)’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate h ow effectively programmes and interventions enhance and contribute to each learner’s confidence in their identity, sense of belonging and growth as active, adaptive and collaborative learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is that leaders, staff, and students have identified the need to provide a broad, holistic local curriculum that will support all students to achieve success, to be adaptable and collaborate in a range of contexts. Developing strong learning partnerships with tamariki and their whānau is also a key focus for the board, leadership, and staff.
The school expects to see strengthened and well-aligned school-wide systems, processes and expectations that support students’ hauora and confidence, so they actively participate in learning; know what they have learned and what they need to learn next.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate h ow effectively programmes and interventions enhance and contribute to each learner’s confidence in their identity, sense of belonging and growth as active, adaptive, and collaborative learners:
targeted and closely monitored teaching programmes that promote accelerated learning and high achievement
a collaborative, committed staff, open to learning and professional growth, focused on continually improving student achievement and wellbeing
a whānau and church community that values learning, celebrates the school’s rich cultural diversity and strongly supports all tamariki sense of identity and belonging.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
using the context of ‘writing’ to explore and evaluate the effectiveness of learning programmes, teaching practices, schoolwide expectations and systems
the development of a strategic plan to guide the development of a localised curriculum
further strengthen partnerships with whānau through learning-based conversations, deliberately planned interactions and useful communication.
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.
