In summary
Ravensbourne School's 2023 ERO review identified that learners are achieving less well in maths than other curriculum areas, and the school has recently adopted the PRIME Maths programme to address this. Strengths include well-understood learner needs met through 1:1 and small group teaching, strong partnerships with outside agencies and the Kāhui Ako supporting teacher capability, and staff readiness to implement positive change. A new principal was appointed in January 2023.

Is Ravensbourne School a good school?
Ravensbourne School has a roll size below our composite-score threshold (roll < 30 (cohort too small for a reliable rollup)). The per-axis data on this profile (NCEA, retention, discipline, funding) is still complete — only the rollup is hidden because small cohorts make rollups noisy.
