### Key findings
- Uri engage in learning experiences that promote identity, language and tikanga, with teaching and learning underpinned by a Māori world view
- Pouako know uri strengths, interests and needs well and use Te Ara Toa to guide assessment and evaluation practices to monitor uri achievement in valued cultural outcomes
- Uri are confident learners developing well culturally, with strong relationships characterised by inclusivity, respect, whanaungatanga and aroha
- Self-review of policies and procedures were not robust at the time of review, with some not having been reviewed for some time
- Clarifying roles and responsibilities and working constructively as a Poumarumaru is a priority for development
