School roll return forms (March 2026) Data Services

School roll return forms for March 2026 and historical March roll return forms may be downloaded from here.

Collection forms

Most schools can complete their roll return using their Student Management System (SMS).

If your school does not use an SMS use the template form below. Note that there are no paper-based roll return forms in 2026.

This type of template form is a student-level template spreadsheet.

The student-level template spreadsheet allows you to copy student details from ENROL directly into the spreadsheet. Note there are some student details that you may need to enter manually. The summary tables will automatically calculate based on the details you enter into the template.

Completed forms must be received by the Data Team no later than 10 March 2026. Please submit using the Secure Data Portal. For more help completing the form please contact us at school.returns@education.govt.nz

Note for Teen Parent Units: Your host school is responsible for sending teen parent unit data along with their roll return. This should be done through the host school's SMS.

For more information on the school roll returns, please see the School roll return guidelines page.
