What did ERO find?
The Education Review Office reviews every school and publishes what it finds in full. We quote ERO’s report here, section by section, in ERO’s own words and order, and link to it. We do not summarise a report, pick a line out of one, or turn one into a score. How ERO reviews schools

- Board assurance
- The board attested to all areas (23 May 2023)
A board assurance statement is the board’s own account of whether it took all reasonable steps to meet its legal obligations, on the date shown. It is not ERO’s finding. ERO reports separately, in the same report, on any non-compliance it identified during that process.
The board assurance report of 23 May 2023 carries no actions-for-compliance section — the section ERO uses when it names non-compliance it identified. That is what this report contains; it is not ERO saying it found none. Other reports ERO holds for this school may say something different.
The roll ERO recorded, and when
ERO writes a roll into each report it publishes: a count taken for that report, on the day shown, by the review team that was there. The Ministry of Education’s current roll for this school is 13 — the figure at the top of this page, and the one to use for how big the school is now. These are a different measurement by a different body, so they will rarely agree, and a difference between them is not a change in the school.

This is one count taken for one report. It says what the roll was on that day, and nothing about how the roll has moved.
What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 23 May 2023 — “Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report” — section by section, under ERO’s own headings, in ERO’s own order. Nothing is summarised, shortened or reordered.
Background
This Profile Report was written within 11 months of the Education Review Office and Rangitaiki School working in Te Ara Huarau , an improvement evaluation approach used in most English Medium State and State Integrated Schools. For more information about Te Ara Huarau see ERO’s website www.ero.govt.nz
Context
Rangitaiki School is a small rural school located approximately 30km west of Taupō and caters for learners in Years 1 to 8.
Rangitaiki School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:
develop a locally and culturally responsive school culture
ensure whānau are invested in the success of learners
keep teachers/staff up to date with ‘best practice’ to meet students’ learning needs.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Rangitaiki School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate which assessment practices are most effective to improve the accuracy of student data to inform teaching and learning .
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to:
streamline assessment systems to provide more focused data to inform teaching
provide the board of trustees with clear and accurate student achievement information to inform resourcing decisions
enhance the use of assessment information to identify individual learning needs and improve student outcomes.
The school expects to see:
assessment information that identifies specific student learning needs
teachers responding to individual student information in their planning
principal reports to the board share accurate learning progress of students’ progress.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to improve assessment practices:
Staff are focused on building their understanding of new ideas in assessment processes.
The school is well-resourced and provides a range of curriculum opportunities for students.
The Kāhui ako and the principals’ association support school leadership in assessment development.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
reviewing assessment practices to better inform teaching and learning
using and analysing student data to inform best practice teaching
reviewing procedures to report to the board and whānau .
ERO’s role will be to support the school in its evaluation for improvement cycle to improve outcomes for all learners. ERO will support the school in reporting their progress to the community. The next public report on ERO’s website will be a Te Ara Huarau | School Evaluation Report and is due within three years.

All 3 reports ERO holds for this school
ERO reviews a school every few years — around four years between reviews is the usual cycle — so an older date here reflects where a school sits in that cycle, not how it is doing.
