Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report

Background

This Profile Report was written within 18 months of the Education Review Office and Stanhope Road Primary 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 

Stanhope Road School is a full primary school in Mt Wellington.  There has been growth in the size and diversity of the roll over recent years.  The school is a member of the Maungakiekie Kāhui Ako.  A new principal joined an experienced senior leadership team in 2022.

Stanhope Road School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are to:

  • strengthen teaching pedagogy to ensure high quality teaching and learning programmes

  • build resilience and well-being at Stanhope Road School

  • continue to celebrate cultural diversity and strengthen connections, partnerships, and relationships.

You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Stanhope Road School’s website.

ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the extent to which sustainable learning partnerships between all key stakeholders contribute to raising ākonga engagement and achievement. The focus of this evaluation is included in the school’s strategic and annual plans.

 The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:

  • the school has plans and actions in place to strengthen educationally powerful connections and relationships with parents, whānau and the community

  • leaders and teachers are further developing their understanding of the impact of relationship building on teaching and learning,

  • to complement and support schoolwide professional learning and development based on the importance of relationships first.

The school expects to see:

  • reciprocal learning-centred relationships between leaders, teachers, parents, whānau and the community

  • stronger connections with local iwi, marae, and connection with our kaumatua to ensure their voices are heard

  • strengthening evaluative practice so leaders and teachers can measure the extent to which sustainable learning partnerships with parents, whānau and the community contribute to improved outcomes for all ākonga.

Strengths

The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate the extent to which sustainable learning partnerships between all key stakeholders contribute to raising ākonga engagement and achievement:

  • leaders and teachers are adaptive and responsive to identified ākonga needs

  • the Stanhope Road School local curriculum is an authentic and responsive to the diverse community

  • well-established connections and partnerships with their community.  

Where to next?

Moving forward, the school will prioritise strengthening culturally responsive practices and the cultural capability of all staff by:

  • developing a shared, cohesive, and collaborative culture and language of learning through Relationships First professional learning and development

  • strengthening sustainable ākonga-centred partnerships with whānau by collecting and responding to stakeholder voice and

  • monitoring for improvement, the attendance and engagement of ākonga.

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.
