Henderson Intermediate

Henderson Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Waitakere, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 732 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 485. The school has been open since 1965.

With 732 students on roll, Henderson Intermediate is a very large school — larger than about 91% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 485, 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.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Pasifika at 38% and Asian at 29.9%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.23 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
