Latest ERO review
2019-08-05 · Steve Tanner, Northern Region
- The school is working towards greater equity and excellence in student achievement, with writing identified as the current achievement challenge
- Students in Te Mahuri (rumaki Māori) achieved better than in Te Kotahitanga (English medium/reo rua), with disparity continuing between boys and girls in mathematics and writing
- The school is developing ways to accelerate student learning, with Te Kotahitanga teachers having participated in professional learning on accelerated literacy and mathematics, but sustainability has proved difficult due to staff changes
- Leadership opportunities and capabilities are developing with good potential for guiding practices that promote student progress
- The school needs strong curriculum leadership oversight of teaching practice and student progress in literacy and mathematics to manage transience and ensure sustainability of professional learning
"The school's information indicates that over the past four years, the majority of students have achieved at their expected national curriculum levels in reading/pānui, writing/tuhituhi and mathematics/pāngarau. Writing is the current achievement challenge for the school."
