"A shared leadership approach, including joint decision making, promotes positive learning outcomes for children. Leaders have focussed on the centre's sustainability, maintaining operations with a fluctuating number of parents. Internal evaluation has been strengthened and the new process adopted should now be embedded, with a focus on outcomes for learners."
Shared leadership, sustainability focus; internal evaluation needs embedding.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Paeroa Playcentre 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.
