- Hataitai School is effective in achieving very good learning outcomes for children
- The school responds well to Māori and other children whose learning and achievement need acceleration
- There are some examples of reduced disparity of achievement between groups of students, however the school has not yet achieved equitable learning outcomes for Māori students in reading and writing
- Senior leaders and teachers value the importance of knowing children and families very well, supported by an ethic of care modelled by senior leadership
- Teachers are increasingly personalising learning with strong emphasis on developing children's awareness and management of their own learning
