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 did not attest to all areas (27 May 2024)
Areas the board did not attest to, in ERO’s words: Board Administration; Curriculum; Management of Health, Safety and Welfare. The report says what that meant and what happened next.
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 same report — the board assurance report of 27 May 2024 — also sets out actions for compliance: the non-compliance ERO identified during that process. This is that section of the report in full, in ERO’s words.
ERO and the board have identified the following areas of non-compliance during the board assurance process:
reporting to students and their parents on the progress and achievement of identified students who are not progressing and/or achieving, or are at risk of not progressing/achieving or who have special needs including gifted and talented
in consultation with the school’s Māori community, developed and made known to the school’s community policies, plans and targets for improving the progress and achievement of Māori students
worked towards offering students opportunities for learning second or subsequent languages (Years 7-10)
complied with the requirement to adopt a statement on the delivery of the health curriculum, at least once in every two years, after consultation with the school community
provide anti-bullying programmes for students that include a focus on racist bullying, bullying of students with special needs, homophobic bullying, transgender bullying, sexual harassment and cyder safety
received assurance at intervals of not more than six months that a trial evacuation has occurred
has documents showing that suitable human resource management practices are implemented, including for non-teaching positions, a safety check including Police Vetting has been carried out, original or certified documents are properly sighted, and the job/role descriptions are in place. [Education and Training Act 2020; Children’s Act 2014]
The board has is taking steps to address the areas of non-compliance identified.
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 123 — 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 27 May 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 is the result of the Education Review Office and Titahi Bay North 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
Titahi Bay North School situated in Titahi Bay, Porirua provides education for students in Years 1 to 8 in Māori and English medium. There have been three changes of principal in recent time. The new principal, appointed to start beginning of 2024 and the board are supported by a commissioner, to effect a change programme for school operation and establish optimum teaching and learning conditions.
Titahi Bay North School ’s strategic priorities for learners are to:
design and deliver the school curriculum in both Māori and English medium
have their learning team nurture positive relationships with students and whānau
communicate, co-operate and have clear processes, procedures and practices in place for school operation.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Titahi Bay North School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well improved school conditions, including leadership, teaching and learning practices impact on the wellbeing, progress and achievement of all ākonga .
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to:
improve the engagement, progress and achievement outcomes for all ākonga
facilitate greater use of achievement information to meet the needs of all ākonga
strengthen leadership and stewardship internal evaluation processes to support and inform ongoing school improvement.
The school expects to see:
schoolwide consistency in effective teaching, learning and assessment practices
continued improvement in teacher data literacy and assessment practice
leadership for learning, resulting in effective decision-making and resourcing that significantly improves the school’s performance and ākonga outcomes.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to increase the wellbeing, progress and achievement of ākonga :
learners experience positive relationships with peers and staff
established school values that supports cultural capital and the mana of ākonga and whānau
engagement with external support to facilitate improvement in leadership and decision-making.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
improving schoolwide consistency in effective teaching, learning and assessment practices that result in improved achievement and equitable outcomes for all ākonga
reviewing assessment practices and use of reliable achievement information to inform planning and reporting, for improved outcomes for all ākonga
strengthening capacity for effective leadership, resulting in improved and sustainable school performance.
ERO has concerns about
The urgent need to:
implement robust evidence-based systems and processes to enable the board and school leadership to effectively use, report and scrutinise wellbeing, progress and achievement information schoolwide
ensure governance and leadership understand legislative requirements to bring about and sustain school conditions that ensure the health and safety of all students.
Recommendation
ERO recommends that the school continues to access the New Zealand School Trustees Association’s training for boards. This should provide support to understand roles, responsibilities and legislative requirements, focused on improved, sustainable outcomes for ākonga and embedding effective stewardship and leadership.
ERO’s role will be to support the school in its evaluation for improvement cycle to improve outcomes for all ākonga . 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.
