Gloriavale school fails second ERO audit
Published By admin
A private school run by the Gloriavale Christian community has failed an audit for the second time in as many years.
The Education Review Office said in a report published on Wednesday that its review visit at the end of 2024 found the school had improved since a 2023 review, but it still failed three of eight registration criteria.
It said the school did not provide suitable staffing for students with complex additional needs, suitable equipment for students with complex additional needs, or a physically and emotionally safe space.
“At the time of the ERO onsite review phase, the school was supporting an enrolled student with extremely high and very complex needs that impact on full onsite engagement within the classroom,” the report said.
“An overarching goal of supporting full attendance and achievement at school is in place within the limitations of the school’s isolation, the wishes of family and the severity of the complex needs.”
It said enrolled students with high and complex needs could not attend because there was insufficient equipment to support those needs.
