What forms (if any) required to get report from uk schools for nz school
Just starting to look at what is needed to enrol our boys,5 (p1) & 8 (p3), at school when we get to Dunedin. Is there a form that can be downloaded so that I can get a report done on each of them before we go so that prospective schools know what level they are at academically etc or does each school have their own paperwork?
Thanks in advance

Hi Phyllis
I have finally come out of the woodwork. Friend of Joyce been watching you for a while and filling her in !!!!!!!!!
Have a look at this website it will tell you how schools are doing etc a bit like how they do it in the UK OFSTED.
The boys and my daughter went to Grants Braes, two of them have obvioulsy moved on to bigger things now.

I'm not aware of any standard forms, but it sounds like a good idea to get something from your current schools. It can be a bit traumatic getting kids into the right year levels here (the system is just different really), so having some more ammo is good practice. Maybe its as simple as your last school reports, and maybe asking the school to give a one-off leaving report.
(I'm going to show how dumb I am here - do UK schools have meaningful school reports?)

Southerner, Yes UK reports are much better than over here. I find the reports here are pretty useless. I would rather the teachers wrote a small paragraph on how your child was doing than a mark from 1-4 on how successful they were in achieving something. A mark of 1-4 really means nothing and doesnt help parents know how the child is performing really. Thats my opinion anyway. Here's hoping my daughter's new school will be different in how they do reports.

Finally we meet Joyce called me on Saturday and said you had spoken to her about BE forum and that you thought it was me!!We are actually thinking of Grants Braes for the boys and wanted to be prepared.( If Joyce has told you about me then you'll know I like to be organised ) I agree with you re UK school reports,I find them very informative about my sons progress at school. I have all of Andrew's reports and Gregor's first report card but I think I will ask the school to do a report on how they are academically and socially at school,a general overview of them if you like. Can't wait to meet you in person to spill all the beans on Joyce as I am sure she has done so already about me Thanks for the offer of help re info,you may just regret it you can tell Joyce that the EOI is complete,just a final check and will be submitting with 200 points

I did spend days going through the ERO reports before arriving in NZ and had contacted the school directly so new exactly what to do when we arrived.
ERO is the equivalent to OFSTED. Good luck ,I'm currently tralling through the OFSTED reports not fun but has to be done!

We came over to hamilton a couple of years back and bought the kids last year of work, Stats results and reports with us... and of course birth certificates, passports and residency permits. I had contacted the school before we left to get info on catchments areas etc and to check procedure for admittance. Then when we arrived we turned up with all the stuff and the kids, filled out paperwork and made arrangements for there start date a few days later, was dead simple (Unlike the experience I will be expecting on our return to UK)!
