Te Kura Taumata o Panguru is located in the small Northland settlement of Panguru, sits beneath the maunga Panguru Papata, and caters for students from Year 1 to 13. The kura is an important part of the community, which has long-standing and inter-generational connections with the school. Since 2015 the school roll has increased significantly.

​

The 2014 ERO report identified concerns about several aspects of the school’s performance. These included the quality of governance and management, and the effectiveness of the curriculum and teaching practices. For this reason ERO decided to continue to monitor the school’s progress through a longitudinal evaluation process.

​

A Limited Statutory Manager (LSM), appointed in April 2015 by the Ministry of Education (MOE), began helping the school to address the concerns raised in the 2014 ERO report. This has led to improvements to governance, leadership and the quality of teaching and learning. The LSM support ended in June 2017.

​

The board, senior leaders and staff have successfully led change management across the school, including staffing changes. As a result, students are receiving more responsive and engaging learning programmes and are benefitting from settled, learning-focused classrooms.

​

The principal, board, and staff have worked collaboratively to improve student engagement and learning, and other key aspects of school performance. They continue to raise expectations for effective teaching, accelerating student progress, and providing positive outcomes for students and whānau. 

​

ERO is likely to carry out the next review in three years.
