Havelock School at a glance

Havelock School is a co-educational full primary school in Havelock, within the Marlborough Region, operating in the state sector, with 39 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 462. The school has been open since 1861.

With 39 students on roll, Havelock School is a very small school — larger than about 12% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 462, 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.

77.3% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 15.9%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.95 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
