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 are intentional in the way they recognise and respond to opportunities to engage in and extend children's learning. They plan programmes based on their observations of children."
Intentional teaching and planning evident, but curriculum evaluation could be strengthened.
"Children and their families are warmly welcomed, experience positive relationships with their peers and adults, and develop a strong sense of belonging in the centre."
Strong sense of belonging, positive relationships, and affirmed identities consistently demonstrated.
"Parents/whānau contributions and aspirations for their children are gathered in a variety of ways. Teachers are beginning to use this information to identify what parents/whānau value as important learning."
Family input gathered but integration into curriculum decisions needs strengthening.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Lollipops North Harbour Kakapo 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.
