ERO review
Akarangi · 2025-04-24
"Kaiako are increasingly intentional about using the learning outcomes of Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum. They have a growing range of learning information about children's capabilities in relation to these outcomes."
Intentional Te Whāriki use developing; assessment practices emerging but not yet exemplary.
"Children are well supported in their transitions into and within the service, and onto school. Kaiako respond to the individual needs of each child, their parents and whānau. Children with additional learning needs are included in all aspects of the programme."
Strong transitions, individual responsiveness, inclusive practice consistently demonstrated.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Te reo me ngā tikanga Māori are highly valued within the service. Kaiako use te reo Māori regularly in their daily teaching practice. Māori are valued as tangata whenua and mana whenua fostering a sense of belonging and upholding the services commitment to children as confident and competent learners."
Regular te reo use, tikanga embedded, mana whenua explicitly valued and fostered.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Effective internal evaluation for improving the curriculum is not yet well understood by governance, management and Kaiako."
Leadership strong in collaboration and practice reflection; internal evaluation understanding needs development.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Bishopdale Community Preschool 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.
