About Lindisfarne College

Lindisfarne College is a boys school secondary (year 7-15) school in Hastings, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 562 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 398. The school has been open since 1952.

With 562 students on roll, Lindisfarne College is a large school — larger than about 85% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 398, 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 65 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 66%, with a meaningful Other community at 17.2% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.08 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
