- Large majority achieve at or above curriculum level expectations in reading and mathematics; majority meet expectations in writing
- Significant disparity for Māori, Pacific and other ethnic students in reading, writing and mathematics, and for boys in writing
- Acceleration evident particularly in writing for many students at risk, with small number of Māori showing accelerated progress in reading and mathematics
- Leadership is highly collaborative, reflective and improvement-focused with strong systems and culturally responsive curriculum
- Non-compliance identified: policies required on Physical Restraint and surrender/retention of property and student searches
"Equitable and excellent outcomes for Māori and Pacific students are not yet evident when compared to their Pākehā peers. There is significant disparity for these students and children of other ethnicities in reading, writing and mathematics, and for boys in writing."
