Addington Te Kura Taumatua

Addington Te Kura Taumatua is a co-educational contributing school in Christchurch, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 361 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 470. The school has been open since 1881.

With 361 students on roll, Addington Te Kura Taumatua is a large school — larger than about 69% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 470, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 40.7% and Asian at 37.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.1 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
