Newlands Intermediate

Newlands Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 516 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 398. The school has been open since 1977.

With 516 students on roll, Newlands Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 82% 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 roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 46.3% and European at 41%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.29 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
