Churton Park School

Churton Park School is a co-educational contributing school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 327 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 361. The school has been open since 1975.

With 327 students on roll, Churton Park School is a large school — larger than about 64% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 361, 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 102 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 46% and European at 42.9%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.24 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
