ERO review
Akarangi · 2022-08-24
"The centre philosophy reflects the principles and strands of Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum, and is highly evident in the inclusive curriculum. Children direct their own learning in well-resourced environments where they have opportunities to explore, learn social skills and foundation skills for literacy, including oral language and New Zealand sign language."
Sound curriculum practice with Te Whāriki evident; assessment system developing but not yet comprehensive.
"Transitions into, and through the service are well planned and personalised. Children with additional needs are well supported in their learning by the service, whānau, and external agencies. Children, including toddlers, benefit from trusting relationships with their teachers and develop a sense of belonging."
Strong transitions and relationships; well-supported additional needs; clear sense of belonging evident.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Selwyn Kids 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.
