"Te Ao Māori is valued in the kindergarten. Children have opportunities to share and celebrate their pepeha as well as use poi and rakau to enrich their learning. Teachers use aspects of kaupapa Māori in the curriculum. Leaders and teachers should consider how to weave a place-based curriculum that promotes and celebrates local places of significant to Māori."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Holborn Kindergarten 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.
