Latest ERO review
2024-06-24 · Darcy Te Hau, ERO
- Uri develop intellectual and academic independence through responsive curriculum connected to hapū, Tainuitanga, local history and landmarks
- Structured literacy and deliberate approaches to raising achievement have improved uri literacy and numeracy progress, with many targeted uri making steady progress
- Leadership team is capable and responsive to uri needs, with tumuaki proactive and well-supported; succession planning in place for hapū staffing
- Governance places uri at the centre of decision-making; Poumarumaru have rich relevant skills and receive timely progress information in numeracy and literacy
- Human resource management requires strengthening; performance assessment of tumuaki not undertaken for some time
"Uri holistic development is enhanced through their engagement in a curriculum responsive to their needs and interests. Connections to hapū, Tainuitanga, local history and significant landmarks are notable elements of the marau ā-kura that strengthen uri sense of identity."
