Aidanfield Christian School at a glance

Aidanfield Christian School is a co-educational composite school in Christchurch, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 477 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 377. The school has been open since 1996.

With 477 students on roll, Aidanfield Christian School is a large school — larger than about 79% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 377, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 86 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 44.6% and Asian at 39.4%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.26 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
