Belief changes to class sizes and staffing are needed to improve writing achievement at intermediate level.
The Government's launching a new digital tool for students sitting below the standard and introducing more professional development in literacy.
New data shows only a quarter of Year Eight students achieved their curriculum writing level last year.
Auckland's Remuera Intermediate Principal Kyle Brewerton told Ryan Bridge these poor figures are due to a lack of resourcing.
He says there's big class sizes and little staffing, while in high school it's vice versa.
