Fraser Crescent School

Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report

Background

This Profile Report was written within 15 months of the Education Review Office and Fraser Crescent 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 

Fraser Crescent School, located in Upper Hutt, provides education for students in Years 0 to 6.

Fraser Crescent School’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners are:

• creating a collaborative, supportive, innovative and risk-taking culture with all learners
• enhancing bicultural environments to maximise opportunities for all
• connecting students to a rich, localised curriculum which caters to the needs, passions and talents of their diverse learners.

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

ERO and the school are working together to evaluate which interventions are most effective in supporting children to achieve.

The rationale for selecting this evaluation is to consider how well students who are receiving interventions are achieving in reading, and to what extent improved learning outcomes are connected to the interventions and activities being provided for diverse learners.

The school expects to see:

• changes to student outcomes being tracked and effective inputs identified across groups of learners enhancing bicultural environments to maximise opportunities for all
• clear tracking of outcomes related to specific interventions being identified, collated, and discussed by staff
• improvements in student wellbeing impacting positively on their achievement
• children knowing themselves as learners, using their strengths and competencies purposefully to make a difference in their lives.

Strengths

The school can draw from the following strengths to support the school in its goal to evaluate which interventions are most effective in supporting children to achieve:

• leaders’ strong focus on identifying, monitoring and supporting the diverse needs of learners
• positive relationships with students and whānau that support learning
• a schoolwide focus on improving the wellbeing of learners
• values that are well understood and enacted.

Where to next?

Moving forward, the school will prioritise:

• raising student achievement in literacy and mathematics
• identification of effective strategies that support achievement and wellbeing
• shared staff understanding and use of effective evaluation.

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.
