ERO review
Education Review · 2024-06-10
"Kaimahi have established efficient processes for assessment. This includes mātai i te katoa o te mokopuna, mātai tamaiti and kōnae mokopuna. Assessment information is focused on the development and progress of individual mokopuna and displays clear links to the mahere ako."
Assessment processes are established and linked to curriculum, but programme evaluation needs strengthening.
"There are many entries in the current accident register indicating insufficient vigilance and supervision to ensure mokopuna are kept safe during learning. Mokopuna safety is potentially compromised."
Supervision gaps and safety concerns pose direct risk to child wellbeing and belonging.
Not explicitly evaluated in this review.
"Although kaimahi use te reo Māori most of the time, mokopuna often tend to prefer speaking in English. Fostering te reo Māori capability across all aspects is imperative."
Te reo Māori environment established but children preferring English; needs intentional strengthening.
"There are many entries in the current accident register indicating insufficient vigilance and supervision to ensure mokopuna are kept safe during learning. Mokopuna safety is potentially compromised."
Multiple compliance gaps: supervision inadequate, accident register shows safety concerns, staff contracts need updating
"The strategic plan encapsulates the vision and aspirations whānau hold for mokopuna. It is time for whānau to develop an action plan to monitor the progress of the strategic objectives."
Strategic vision exists but lacks implementation plan; governance systems need development and formal evaluation process
