Strategic Plan

Under the Education and Training Act 2020, the government have made changes to how schools plan and report that will be implemented in 2024. The framework, which came into effect on 1 January 2023, is currently being introduced to school leaders and boards.

Te Whakangārahu Ngātahi | Planning Together is designed to help:

• Focus schools and kura on continuously improving their planning and reporting practices to deliver equitable and excellent outcomes for all learners.

• Support learners, whānau and communities to be involved in the planning process for their school or kura.

• Give schools and kura flexibility to reflect their local contexts in their planning and reporting.

• Support whānau and communities to hold their schools or kura accountable for learner outcomes.

Te Whakangārahu Ngātahi│Planning Together requires the board to develop:

• a 3-year strategic plan[1] developed in consultation with their school community, that sets out how the board will meet their primary objectives (set out in the Education and Training Act 2020)

• an annual implementation plan that sets annual targets and actions for working towards their strategic goals

• an annual report that reports on the school’s progress and finances.

Your board’s first strategic plan will be for a timeframe of 2 years (1 January 2024-31 December 2025) to align the strategic planning cycle with board triennial elections.
