"Māori are recognised as tangata whenua. Relationships with wider community, including iwi, and Māori expertise contribute to experiences for children grounded in te ao Māori practice. Children hear te reo Māori in meaningful contexts within the daily curriculum. Teachers, through quality improvement actions, show a clear focus on a commitment to the continual building of Te Tiriti o Waitangi based practices."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where The Redwoods Country Kindergarten 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.
