Dear Charter School Agency,

I am requesting a list of the 17 successful charter school applications for the charter schools that have been accepted and that have opened or will be opened throughout 2026.

Reference to these have been made on the Charter Schools Agency website https://www.charterschools.govt.nz/chart...

If the full set of applications is unable to be released, a subset of these will also be acceptable.

Yours faithfully,

Cricket
