Their creativity, curiosity and problem-solving skills are nurtured and extended. Children are very well supported by teachers to investigate, lead their learning and to confidently share their ideas and theories."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Bear Park Henderson 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.
