About Bledisloe School

Bledisloe School is a co-educational contributing school in Napier, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 303 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 474. The school has been open since 1958.

With 303 students on roll, Bledisloe School is a large school — larger than about 61% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 474, 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.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.23 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
