What ERO found
The Education Review Office’s latest report on the school is a Te Ara Huarau School Profile Report from July 2023. This kind of report sets out what ERO and the school will evaluate together, here how well the learning environment builds students’ ownership of their learning and lifts outcomes for all.
ERO noted that teachers and leaders shape the curriculum together around the needs and hopes of students and the community, that culturally responsive teaching supports relationships centred on progress, achievement and wellbeing, and that staff use evaluation with purpose to improve and try new things.
Next, the school plans to make better use of assessment to meet each student’s learning needs and build their independence, to develop its curriculum further so that student ownership of learning is applied well across the school, and to keep up collaborative, culturally responsive teaching that supports hauora.
