Targets
Strategic aim: All students are able to access the New Zealand Curriculum showing achievement against National Standards
Target One: Reading: Target 1. We aim to have all students make progress and in particular accelerate the progress of children reading below the level of the school expectations.
This target was added in April after discussions with the Education review Office.
The original targets including shifting one year 6 student to ‘at’ and increase the percentage of students achieving at or above and we aimed to shift more children to ‘above’ especially at the Y4 &5 level
Baseline data 2017 26.7%(4) students at year 6 (2017) are below the expected standard.
No students at year 3&4 were above the expected standard

48(28.5%) Children are below in writing. 44(26%) have made insufficient progress.
8(5%) children are well below in writing.
Note in this data 4 ORS and 2 ESOL students are recorded as being well below and 1 HHN, 1 LLI/RTLB, 1 ORS and 6 ESOL students are recorded as being below.
The home-schooled student has moved from below to at in term 3.
ESOL and ORS students are recorded in the below and well below data but only 2 in the ‘insufficient progress’ data.
We use PAT punctuation and Grammar and PAT vocab, LLP’s, writing levels across the curriculum and eAsTTle for some students to help make OTJ’s. Moderation between teachers is common practice at all levels with a focus on targeted students at syndicate level.
