ERO review
Education Review · 2019-12-19
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.
"Teachers regularly document the experiences that children have at the centre. They skilfully recognise children's learning and progress. Teachers' planning for individuals and groups of children is increasingly based on their interests and strengths. They could now use Te Whāriki more specifically as part of this planning."
Effective documentation and planning evident; Te Whāriki integration needs strengthening.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Parents/whānau are very satisfied with the service. Those who spoke with ERO valued the opportunities their children have to learn about other cultures and languages. Teachers use a range of strategies to gather parent feedback."
Satisfaction and feedback mechanisms evident; deeper learning partnerships needed.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Lollipops Mount Albert 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.
