Provisional rolls for schools and kura 2024
Every September the Ministry notifies schools of their provisional roll, staffing and funding entitlements for the following year to allow schools to make staffing decisions. Schools were notified of their 2024 provisional rolls on 15 September 2023. The data on this page is for state and state-integrated schools only.
Resourcing state and state-integrated schools based on the size of their rolls ensures that education funds are distributed fairly. It is an important and ongoing contribution to equity of education opportunities for our tamariki and rangatahi.
The process for determining the 2024 provisional rolls and staffing entitlements for schools has included input from the Ministry’s takiwā to ensure that we take specific circumstances relevant to the school and community into consideration.
