Not explicitly evaluated in this review.

Children's wellbeing

Not explicitly evaluated in this review.

Whānau partnership
↓C
"greater use should be made of the information parents share about their cultures"

Parent input on culture underutilised; partnership developing but needs strengthening.

Bicultural practice
↓C
"Teachers have yet to consider how mana whenua are recognised within the curriculum."

Te reo Māori used but mana whenua recognition not yet integrated into curriculum.

Health & safety
D
"Better attention to health and safety processes and practices is needed."

Non-compliance identified; sleep time recording requirements not met; urgent attention needed.

Leadership & governance
↓C
"While an evaluative framework is in place to guide internal evaluation, it is not yet well understood. Stronger leadership in this area is now a priority."

Evaluative framework exists but not embedded; professional learning in evaluation ongoing since 2018.
