ERO review
Akarangi · 2024-11-19
"Further work is required to strengthen planning to more clearly focus on the identified learning outcomes and the role of the teacher in extending learning."
Planning inconsistent; teacher role in extending learning needs clarification.
"Current provision of education and care for this age group does not adequately meet their needs."
Infants and toddlers provision inadequate; needs urgent improvement.
"Parent and whānau aspirations are actively sought and inform planning for children."
Family aspirations actively sought and integrated into planning.
"The centre philosophy has been reviewed in partnership with parents and whānau. It is underpinned by four key aspects: relationships; respect; biculturalism; and learning and teaching."
Biculturalism in philosophy; further embedding in practice needed.
"All early childhood services are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements."
Service attested compliance with legal health and safety requirements.
"Teaching as inquiry is at the early stages of implementation. This requires further strengthening to show the impact of teaching strategies on outcomes for children."
Internal evaluation emerging; teaching inquiry early stage, needs consolidation.
