Schooled, or you might remember us as CES, are excited to join SPANZ and continue our support of education in Aotearoa.  Schools aren’t just in our name, but are in our DNA… We started in 1989 as a school-owned cooperative when the Tomorrows Schools reforms came in to support Canterbury kura with accounting services.  Over the last 35 years we have grown to support over 250 kura across Aotearoa with accounting services, added additional offices in Auckland and new services to support kura across the motu.  We can assist with accounting services including payables and reporting, pay roll services, fixed asset stock takes, conferences and training for Admin and Property staff, consulting and Principal appointment.

Our Election Pilot team are the largest providers of school board election services in Aotearoa and have been the only people trusted to provide online board elections since they were introduced in 2022.  Board elections are happening again in 2025, so talk to Mission Control about how we can make sure your election journey goes smoothly.  We have made some massive updates to our election system to simplify things for kura staff, candidates and voters, all while ensuring the integrity of the election and privacy of the information we hold is held to the highest standards.  Even better, your MoE election funding will cover the costs of your parent elections!

Did we mention that Schooled is non-profit and here to support education?  Schooled is owned by the CES Foundation, a national charitable trust established to support ECE, Primary, Intermediate and Secondary education across Aotearoa… So working with Schooled supports the wider education sector.
