"Leaders and teachers work collaboratively to build their professional knowledge. Teachers are supported to take responsibility for their own professional learning. They are continuing to increase their understanding of how to use internal evaluation to identify the impacts of improvements made. There are established systems that support decision making and an ongoing focus on what is happening for children and their learning."
Strong collaborative leadership, professional learning support, and internal evaluation practices.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Kelston Community Early Childhood Centre 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.
