Randwick School at a glance

Randwick School is a co-educational full primary school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 122 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 504. The school has been open since 1929.

With 122 students on roll, Randwick School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 31% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 504, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 41 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 34.2% and European at 27.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

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.
