ERO review
Akarangi · 2023-11-21
"Children experience a broad, responsive curriculum underpinned by the philosophy values of manaakitanga (care), whanaungatanga (relationships) and whanau tangata (community). The learning environment provides many opportunities for them to be creative, explore, and to develop early literacy and mathematics concepts and social skills."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Amberley Community Preparatory School Inc 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.
