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 (4 October 2022)
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 4 October 2022 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 98 — 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 4 October 2022 — “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 9 months of the Education Review Office and Rangiuru 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
Rangiuru School is a rural school located approximately 7km from Te Puke and provides education for students in Years 1 to 8. A new principal started in Term 1, 2022 along with two new teaching staff.
Rangiuru School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
to improve outcomes of equity and excellence for all learners
to grow school culture, wellbeing and belonging.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Rangiuru School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how well the school is implementing consistent and coherent teaching and learning practices that are focused on improved outcomes for all learners.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to improve:
the effective use of assessment to inform teaching and learning
culturally responsive pedagogy across the school
outcomes for all learners, particularly those at risk of underachieving.
The school expects to see enhanced consistency in effective and culturally responsive teaching and learning practices resulting in improved outcomes of equity and excellence for all learners.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal of improving outcomes of equity and excellence for all learners:
the established localised curriculum that is inspired and supported through hapu and iwi
in-school expertise to facilitate and support teaching and learning improvements, particularly in the areas of literacy and culturally responsive pedagogy
collaborative and committed staff who are focused on improving outcomes for all learners.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise outcomes of equity and excellence for all learners through:
professional learning for staff focused on strengthening teacher capacity and culturally responsive practices
strengthening the use of assessment to respond most effectively to learner needs
implementing the new school values to enhance hauora , unity and a sense of belonging for all
strengthening partnerships with whānau , hapu and iwi to support and enhance learning and positive outcomes for all.
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.
