Mata'aga A'oga Amata
Education & Care
25 Murdoch Road, Grey Lynn · Auckland - Waitematā
Mata'aga A'oga Amata is an education and care service in Grey Lynn with 22 children on roll. Our analysis of the ERO report from September 2024 found the service demonstrates bicultural practice with Te Tiriti principles embedded in the curriculum. However, significant concerns were identified in health and safety (including critical non-compliances in emergency planning, excursions, medication records, and police vetting) and leadership and governance (with systemic failures noted across three consecutive reviews).

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Mata'aga A'oga Amata 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.
