ERO review
ERO review · 2018-12-06
This review predates ERO's current 4-point placement scale (introduced 2020). The overall judgement is omitted; the per-dimension grades below are extracted from the review prose and remain comparable.
"A standout feature of the kindergarten is the stimulating environment that motivates children to initiate their own learning and actively explore and investigate. Children can readily access high-quality resources and equipment to extend their imagination and be creative. The curriculum provides children with valuable and highly effective experiences in: literacy, mathematics, the arts, science developing respect and understanding in caring for the natural environment engaging in meaningful, sustained and complex learning taking responsibility for themselves and others."
Highly effective teaching, strong intentional curriculum design, assessment improvements documented
"Respectful and trusting relationships underpin all aspects of kindergarten life. Children, parents and their whānau demonstrate a strong sense of belonging to the kindergarten community. The principles of the early childhood curriculum about empowerment, family and community, holistic development and relationships are strongly evident in practice."
Strong sense of belonging, relationships embedded, positive social-emotional development evident

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