Quotes from 2008's ERO Report
"The warm, inviting, family atmosphere that students learn in is a highly positive feature of the school. Teachers conscientiously establish, and actively maintain, close links with each child’s parents and whanau. Support for the school is high. The board’s mission statement of developing ‘confident, independent learners within a caring community’ is successfully realised. Consequently, students’ sense of belonging and achievement is fostered"
"Students achieve well across the curriculum, particularly in numeracy. Achievement data is appropriately collated and analysed to inform individual student, class and schoolwide review. This information is regularly compared with national standards and confirms that students achieve well over time"
"Students experience a harmonious, caring environment where they are not limited in their endeavours by their age. They are respectful of each other, with older students helping younger ones to achieve success. A strong sense of responsibility is fostered"
"Targeted teaching sessions, with small groups, allow for instruction that builds on prior learning and real-life experiences. Teachers have high expectations that all students will progress. They encourage each child to take intellectual risks and work independently in a focused manner"
