Kelburn Normal School

Kelburn Normal School is a co-educational full primary school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 281 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 353. The school has been open since 1914.

With 281 students on roll, Kelburn Normal School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 59% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 353, 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 110 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 69.3%, with a meaningful Asian community at 25% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.09 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
