Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto

Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto is a co-educational full primary school in Christchurch, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 489 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 412. The school has been open since 1915.

With 489 students on roll, Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto is a large school — larger than about 80% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 412, 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 51 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 72%, with a meaningful Asian community at 17.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.14 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
