ERO REVIEW

We are delighted to share the highlights of our recent ERO review, which wonderfully validates the hard work happening in our classrooms every day. The report is a fantastic celebration of our kura, and we are incredibly proud to share these results with you.

What we are celebrating:

  • Our tamariki benefit from a highly positive, inclusive school culture where they experience a strong sense of belonging.
  • Our teachers know our learners exceptionally well and are highly responsive to their individual needs.
  • We are already successfully meeting the Government's 2030 achievement targets for the foundational skills of reading, writing and maths.
    Most of our learners are meeting or exceeding curriculum expectations in reading and mathematics.
  • Our teachers are using consistent, structured teaching approaches across all year levels to ensure high-quality learning.
  • Learners with complex needs are exceptionally well supported by our team to achieve their educational goals.
  • We maintain strong, collaborative partnerships with our whānau by providing useful and accurate reporting on your child's learning and progress.
  • We have an improvement-focused leadership team that supports staff growth.

Next steps: As a school that embraces continuous growth, ERO also helped us clarify three key areas to focus on:

  • We will be consolidating our curriculum and assessment practices to align with the anticipated New Zealand Curriculum guidelines.
  • Improving and sustaining our writing results, specifically for our boys and Māori learners, to ensure equitable outcomes.
  • Working closely with our community to develop and implement a plan to increase regular school attendance toward the 80% target.
