Achievement Snapshot

Key points:

• To move from a curriculum level below expectation to a level that is at/above expectation requires a student to make accelerated progress (progress over and above what would be reasonably expected in one year).

• The shifts in reading and maths show an excellent level of accelerated progress with some huge gains by our students. The gains are reflective of what is possible when we have a more “normal” year (2020-2022 were heavily disrupted by Covid) and testament to the hard work, new learning, and commitment of our staff.

• Writing will be our main focus area in 2024. Many of our students below curriculum expectations are English language learners, and are receiving additional support to boost their language levels. This will be ongoing in 2024.

• A deeper analysis of results will be completed over the next month, and reported to our Board of Trustees at their first meeting of 2024 (and then shared with our whānau). We use the data to design programmes and to target support.

Overall, we are delighted with these results as they show some excellent progress.

While reading, writing and maths are undoubtedly important, our approach to learning is also focused on the importance of developing a well-rounded child and our schoolwide values, which can never be measured by a test.
