Students achieving at or above the New Zealand National Standard for writing

Students from those schools without a known or applicable decile are included in the total.

NS = National standards

2013 was the third year that schools which use the New Zealand Curriculum were required to report their National Standards results. Students can achieve at, above, below or well below the standard for their year level. The 2011 year saw the transition into National Standards data collection, and the data from that transition year has been excluded from analysis in this indicator 1. Of the 2,099 schools with Year 1-8 students which used the New Zealand curriculum in 2013, 2,007 provided National Standards data for writing.

Numerator: Year 1 to 8 students in state and state-integrated schools using the New Zealand Curriculum who were judged to be 'at' or 'above' the writing standard for their year level in writing.

Denominator: All Year 1 to 8 students in state and state-integrated schools using the New Zealand Curriculum for whom National Standards results were provided for writing.
