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 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 (16 November 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 16 November 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 290 — 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.

This is one count taken for one report. It says what the roll was on that day, and nothing about how the roll has moved.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 16 November 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 24 months of the Education Review Office and St Brigids School (Johnsonville) 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 Brigids School is a multicultural Catholic school located in Johnsonville, Wellington for students in Years 1 to 8.
St Brigids School (Johnsonville)’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
to embed the St Brigids curriculum that provides students with rich learning opportunities and enhanced learning for all
for teachers to sustain and improve consistency and collaboration in how they work together
to build partnerships with local iwi to reinforce the school’s vision of learning together with strength of character and gentleness of heart.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on St Brigids School (Johnsonville)’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well the school is responding to the learning needs of its priority learners, those whose progress requires acceleration.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
to enhance the performance of priority learners
to clearly identify and cater for learners’ needs, and to monitor the effectiveness of interventions
to develop teachers’ capacity to work collaboratively to ensure equity and personal excellence for all learners.
The school expects to see:
all children engaged with and progressing in their learning
accelerated progress over time for priority learners
a culture of collaboration within and across teaching teams.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to effectively meet the learning needs of priority learners:
a connected, caring community where its values are well known and enacted for the wellbeing of all
current data collection and tracking processes
a senior leadership team who clearly articulate a collaborative team approach and expectations to support positive learning outcomes for all learners.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
developing links with iwi and in particular mana whenua to strengthen the sense of identity of Māori learners, as well as broadening opportunities for students to learn, participate and understand Aotearoa New Zealand’s dual culture
using achievement and progress data to evaluate the impact of teaching and learning interventions for learners
collaboration within and across teaching teams, so that all learners have equitable opportunity for improved outcomes.
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 3 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.
