ERO review
Education Review · 2022-03-01
"A yearly plan identifies learning experiences aligned to the desired outcomes of Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum. Termly and weekly planning aligns to the seasons and link to Atua Māori. This framework supports kamahi to implement a daily programme where mokopuna are embraced by whanaungatanga through tuakana/teina experiences and nurturing respectful relationships with kaimahi."
Intentional curriculum planning aligned to Te Whāriki with sound daily implementation framework evident.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōtane 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.
