ERO review
Akarangi · 2022-10-05
"Children experience an inclusive curriculum that caters to their individual learning and development needs. Their natural curiosity is fostered through planned learning experiences. They are encouraged to take leadership in their learning by having the freedom of choice in activities and experiences. A strong focus on literacy and numeracy woven through the Montessori curriculum supports successful transitions to school."
Inclusive, well-planned curriculum with intentional teaching; assessment practices variable across service.

"Leaders and teachers are improvement focused. Research and inquiry are used well to reflect on and deepen practice. Internal evaluation as a process to measure the effectiveness of practice requires better knowledge and understanding to determine what is working well for children and what could be improved."
Improvement-focused but internal evaluation requires development; knowledge gaps identified.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Trillium Montessori School Ltd. 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.
