Bailey Road School - 18 Mar 2024
Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report
Background
This Profile Report was written within 7 months of the Education Review Office and Bailey Road 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
Bailey Road School is a culturally diverse primary school catering for students in Years 1 to 8 in Mount Wellington, Auckland. The school’s heart values of honesty, effort, achievement, respect, and togetherness are the school’s core beliefs.
Bailey Road School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:
- improving student outcomes through our consistent pedagogical approach
- improving student outcomes through our consistent curriculum design and delivery
- improving student outcomes through consistently understanding and prioritising the important role of wellbeing in our success.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Bailey Road School’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate how effectively the school leadership structure impacts on pedagogy as well as equitable and excellent learning outcomes for all students.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
- ensuring effective leadership is achieving equitable and improved learning outcomes for all students
- to accelerate the progress of all students who are not yet at the expected curriculum level in literacy and mathematics
- continuing to build the capability of teachers to deliver learning programmes to meet the needs of students.
The school expects to see:
- leaders and teachers using achievement information and formative teaching practice consistently to inform the delivery of learning programmes and improve learning outcomes for all students
- greater consistency of teaching practice across the school
- school wide lifts in literacy and mathematics achievement and greater equity for priority learners
- accelerated progress for students working towards curriculum expectations.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to it in its goal to ensure the school’s leadership effectively impacts pedagogy, and equitable and excellent learning outcomes for all students.
- leadership that reflects commitment to the school’s strategic direction and is focussed on improving equity and excellence for all students
- assessment systems and practices identify, monitor and report the progress and achievement of all students
- indoor and outdoor learning environments and opportunities support the delivery of the New Zealand Curriculum
- culturally diverse school reconnecting and building educational links with parents, whānau and the local community.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
- continuing to build teachers capability and capacity to use assessment information
- ongoing relevant professional learning to inform teaching practice and deliver learning programmes to meet the needs of all students
- embedding and sustaining school wide consistency of effective teaching practice.
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.
