"Leaders and teachers work collaboratively to build professional practice. Self-review is used to inform change by reflecting on existing practice. A useful framework guides internal evaluation processes. However, leaders and teachers are yet to effectively monitor and evaluate the impact of changes made on outcomes for identified individuals and groups of children."
Collaborative practice with frameworks in place; impact monitoring of changes needs strengthening.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Swannanoa Preschool 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.
