ERO review
Education Review · 2025-08-05
"Currently, there is limited awareness among kaimahi about what evaluation involves or how it can be used to improve learning outcomes."
Programme evaluation underdeveloped; assessment practices limited and poorly understood by staff.
"Mokopuna are nurtured in a caring environment underpinned by whanaungatanga and manaakitanga."
Strong relational environment but safety gaps in excursions and emergency procedures create concerns.
"Regardless of this, whānau hui are well attended and operational matters are discussed."
Good attendance and engagement despite declining roll; communication evident but participation impacted.
"Mokopuna learn alongside each other, engaging with te reo Māori through everyday interactions."
Te reo Māori integrated daily; cultural practices evident but could be more systematically evaluated.
"Emergency evacuation drills have not been carried out. It is essential that the emergency policy and procedures are reviewed, and that fire, earthquake, tsunami and lock down drills are planned and practiced. Without this, mokopuna health and safety is at risk."
Critical gaps: no emergency drills, inadequate excursion policy, unreviewed policies; safety cannot be guaranteed.
"Although the annual plan identifies policy reviews, it lacks clarity on which specific policies should be reviewed and when."
Early-stage systematic review; unclear priorities; needs structured approach to policy evaluation and oversight.
