About Bayfield School

Bayfield School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 382 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 356. The school has been open since 1886.

With 382 students on roll, Bayfield School is a large school — larger than about 71% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 356, 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 107 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 74.5%, with a meaningful Asian community at 16.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.12 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
