"Leaders and teachers work in close partnership with parents and external agencies to support participation and learning for children with additional needs."
Effective partnership with families; responsive to diverse needs
"Teachers' use of reo and tikanga Māori is developing. Some teachers confidently use te reo Māori in meaningful contexts with children. Current centre internal review acknowledges the need for leaders to continue to challenge and grow teacher's capability to inquire into the effectiveness of the bicultural curriculum and treaty based practices."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Te Rapa Early Education Centre 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.
