- Outcomes for learners are becoming increasingly equitable
- The majority of learners achieve at expected curriculum levels in reading, writing and mathematics; the school has yet to have equitable outcomes for Māori and Pacific learners
- Learners experience a positive and inclusive learning environment where physical and emotional safety is well promoted and contributes to their sense of belonging
- Leadership effectively fosters and sustains a culture committed to high quality teaching and meeting the needs of each learner
- School attendance information shows the school is meeting the Ministry of Education's national target for regular attendance
"Leadership effectively fosters and sustains a culture committed to high quality teaching and meeting the needs of each learner."
