ERO review
Akarangi · 2023-06-28
"Children experience a broad curriculum that provides meaningful opportunities to learn about sustainable practices within the kaupapa Māori concept of kaitiakitanga."
Broad curriculum with intentional teaching and Te Whāriki alignment evident.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Leaders and teachers work with parents, whānau and external agencies to plan for their learning and development."
Partnerships with families and external agencies for planning and support.
"Te reo Māori is used in teacher-led activities but is minimally evident during play-based learning. While there are displays of landmarks significant to mana whenua, there is potential for leaders and teachers to further explore local pūrākau and the histories of mana whenua and incorporate these in the curriculum."
Te reo inconsistently used; limited incorporation of mana whenua narratives and histories.
"ERO identified the following area of non-compliance: Ensuring the design and layout of the premises support effective adult supervision so that children's access to the licensed space (indoor and outdoor) is not unnecessarily limited."
Non-compliance identified regarding premises design and supervision effectiveness.
"When monitoring and evaluating, leaders and teachers are yet to measure the impact of improvements made on outcomes for individual and groups of learners. The process also needs strengthening to include an evaluative question and the use of measurable indicators of quality at all stages of an evaluation."
Internal evaluation processes developing; impact measurement and measurable indicators needed.

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