What ERO found
The Education Review Office’s latest report on the school is a Te Ara Huarau School Profile Report from March 2024. This kind of report sets out what ERO and the school will evaluate together, here how well its new approaches to teaching literacy and its new assessment practices lead to fair and strong outcomes for every learner.
ERO pointed to decisions by leaders and resourcing by trustees that line up with the school’s strategic priorities, teachers who work together and take part in relevant professional learning on literacy and assessment, and positive, productive classrooms where students are engaged in their learning.
Next, the school plans to keep giving teachers chances to share practice and take part in professional learning on literacy and assessment, record changes to its curriculum as new approaches become part of everyday teaching, and gather progress data, classroom observations and community views over time to judge what its actions achieve for learners.
