Grovetown School

Grovetown School is a co-educational contributing school in Blenheim, within the Marlborough Region, operating in the state sector, with 71 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 440. The school has been open since 1866.

With 71 students on roll, Grovetown School is a small school — larger than about 20% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 440, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

90% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 5.7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.5 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
