Blenheim School

Blenheim School is a co-educational contributing school in Blenheim, within the Marlborough Region, operating in the state sector, with 155 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 501. The school has been open since 1859.

With 155 students on roll, Blenheim School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 39% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 501, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support.

The largest group is European at 58.3%, with a meaningful Asian community at 20.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.43 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
