Brandon Intermediate

Brandon Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Porirua, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 166 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 523. The school has been open since 1970.

With 166 students on roll, Brandon Intermediate is a medium-sized school — larger than about 41% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 523, 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 gap of 60 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 69.6%, with a meaningful European community at 15.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.11 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
