Teachers plan to develop greater confidence in using tikanga and te reo Māori, to further embed these developments and enhance their own teaching practice."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Snells Beach 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.
