- Most learners achieve at or above curriculum level expectation in mathematics, reading and writing; there is no disparity for any groups of learners.
- Leadership is increasingly strategic in setting and working towards achievement targets.
- Foundational skills in reading and mathematics are prioritised and explicitly taught; a next step is to prioritise the explicit teaching of writing strategies.
- Partnerships with parents and whānau are developing and increasingly support the many different identities, languages and cultures of learners.
