ERO review
Akanuku · 2024-05-09
"Children experience a responsive curriculum that enhances resilience, independence, and mana. Through kaitiakitanga they are learning to care for their environment and take responsibility for others and themselves. Kaiako are responsive to their emerging interests. Some elements of te reo me ngā tikanga Māori are embedded and relevant to local iwi."
Responsive curriculum evident; some te reo/tikanga embedded; assessment refinement needed.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Learning focused partnerships are well embedded. Individualised planning values the perspectives of parents and whānau. There are many opportunities for them to discuss their expectations for learning and kaiako foster education in relation to these agreed priorities. Pukapuka taonga, individual records of the learning, are valued by children and their whānau."
Learning partnerships well embedded; individualised planning values whānau perspectives; strong engagement.
"Some elements of te reo me ngā tikanga Māori are embedded and relevant to local iwi. Leaders and kaiako have begun developing a more localised curriculum."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Swinburn House 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.
