About Henley School (Nelson)

Henley School (Nelson) is a co-educational contributing school in Richmond, within the Tasman Region, operating in the state sector, with 506 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 430. The school has been open since 1962.

With 506 students on roll, Henley School (Nelson) is a large school — larger than about 82% of New Zealand schools.
