ERO review

"Children learn through a rich and responsive curriculum. They have time and space to play and discover alongside their peers. A well-resourced learning environment provides opportunities for children to express and explore their working theories."
Responsive curriculum with rich learning environment, though Te Whāriki outcomes integration emerging.

"A kaiawhina works alongside teachers and children to promote culturally situated learning opportunities. Māori children and whānau benefit from a supportive environment where manaakitanga and whanaungatanga are valued."
Culturally responsive practices evident; kaiawhina supports culturally situated learning opportunities.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"The service is establishing the collective capability to do and use evaluation for improvement. Change is driven by review. Teachers engage in reflection to build collaborative practice. They are encouraged to take individual and collective responsibility for their professional learning. Teachers and leaders are yet to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching practice on outcomes for children."
Establishing evaluation capability; reflection practices developing but impact assessment not yet evident.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Rata Street Pre-school 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.
