The purpose of ERO’s reviews is to give parents and the wider community assurance about the quality of education that schools provide and their children receive.

Excerpts from the report:

Leadership effectively fosters the conditions to support high quality teaching and positive outcomes for learners.

• Leadership drives clear, coherent improvement goals, with a strong focus on accelerating progress for learners at risk of underachievement.
• Leadership promotes a culture of quality teaching, equity, and excellence, ensuring high expectations for evidence-informed practice are clear, shared, and consistently monitored.

Teaching and learning programmes are highly responsive to student interests, needs and aspirations.

• Learners experience a broad, rich curriculum with a strong focus on building solid foundations in literacy and mathematics.
• Teachers use learning information effectively to understand each student and design responsive programmes, increasingly applying evidence-based strategies to boost engagement and success.
• Students needing extra support are identified early and receive targeted, effective help, while those excelling are provided with opportunities for challenge and extension.
• Te reo Māori, te ao Māori, tikanga Māori, and mātauranga Māori are increasingly integrated across the curriculum, strengthening culturally responsive practices to support engagement.

Clear focus on inclusive school culture, learner wellbeing and continuous improvement

• Students describe a positive, inclusive school culture and trust that staff care about their wellbeing and learning. They feel well supported during key transitions into, through, and beyond school.
• The school has strong, coordinated systems for wellbeing, inclusion, and engagement, regularly gathering and acting on data to improve outcomes.
