Our Education Review Office report is now confirmed. It will be posted on their website in 10 days but in the meantime here are a few snippets to give you some of the flavour of it.
This school provides students
and their families with high quality care and education. The board, principal,
teachers and students have high expectations for learning and behaviour. They
want all students to achieve to their potential and be the best that they can
be. The key factors that promote success in this school are:
•the strong relationships
between teachers and students and amongst students
•Maori enjoying
opportunities to succeed as Maori
•students actively engaging
in learning.
…
Students are highly engaged
in their learning. ERO noticed students:
•confidently talking about
their learning with their teachers and peers
•directing and leading
their learning
•reflecting on their
learning and identifying their next steps.
How effectively does this school's curriculum
promote and support student learning?
The school's curriculum is
effectively promoting and supporting students' learning. The learning
environment has been purposely designed to reflect the school's culture of
togetherness through family grouping and team teaching where activities permit.
Students told ERO that they enjoyed working with different teachers and younger
students.
The school's vision, values
and 'Freeville Flyer' characteristics guide teaching and learning practices.
Students speak confidently about the place of the key characteristics for
learning and how these impact on their learning and behaviour. These key
characteristics are well incorporated into the school's curriculum design.
Students participate in a wide range of experiences in and beyond the school.
Programmes incorporate the local environment and resources. Students receive
well planned literacy and mathematics programmes. Maori perspectives are
purposefully planned for and included in classroom programmes.
