In summary
Kaikorai School's Board Assurance Review (December 2024) found the board attested to compliance across Board Administration, Curriculum, Health/Safety/Welfare, Personnel Management, Finance, and Assets. One area of non-compliance was identified: the board did not adopt a statement on delivery of health curriculum at least once every two years after community consultation as required. The board has taken steps to address this.

- Learners benefit from a coherent curriculum design that engages them in a range of meaningful learning experiences
- Teachers use rubrics to assess future focused skills with increasing accuracy and purpose and share this information with parents and whānau
- The large majority of students attend school regularly; a well-considered approach is improving attendance rates; however, the school is not yet meeting the Ministry of Education target
