ERO Review · 2018-09-13· superseded by operator-wide review above
"Children benefit from positive interactions with teachers who are highly attentive to their interests and ideas. Sustained interactions and 'wondering' conversations are well promoted. Teachers expand on cultural events and group interests through art experiences, stories and excursions."
Effective teaching with intentional engagement; assessment processes developing but not yet fully embedded.
"Very useful processes, displays and reciprocal relationships with school staff support children and families to confidently transition to the next stage of their learning journey. Children with diverse learning needs are appropriately supported through liaison with parents and outside agencies."
Strong transitions and support systems; positive interactions evident throughout.
"Teachers successfully strategise to increase the involvement of families in the programme and have consulted with them to establish valued learning outcomes for their children."
Good communication and consultation; opportunity to increase whānau involvement in strategic direction.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Maungaraki Kindergarten 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.
