"Teachers use greetings and affirmation with children in Māori, sing waiata and resources reflect a bicultural curriculum. Leaders continue to develop teacher capability and recently implemented an annual review of bicultural practice to support continuous improvement. Consultation with hapū and iwi to develop a curriculum reflective of places of significance to local Māori is yet to occur."
Emerging bicultural practice; te reo use and waiata present but no hapū/iwi consultation yet completed.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Leaders intentionally build teacher capability and understanding of the Montessori approach to achieve desired learning outcomes for children. They work collaboratively to build their professional knowledge and expertise and cultural competence. Review and research are well established, and this informs ongoing improvements. While an internal evaluation framework is in place strengthening the evaluative aspect to this process is required."
Strong capability building and professional learning; internal evaluation framework present but needs strengthening.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Airdmhor Montessori hasn't been graded on a dimension, the composite uses the national average for that dimension as a placeholder. Each affected axis below is flagged est. When a new ERO review lands, the placeholder is replaced and the score may shift.
The composite is a weighted average of six ERO dimensions, each scored 0–100 (A=90, B=70, C=50, D=25). The "(p47)" style suffix shows where the centre sits within its EQI band (peer percentile, when ≥10 comparable centres in band). See methodology for the formula + limits.
