About Redwoodtown School

Redwoodtown School is a co-educational full primary school in Blenheim, within the Marlborough Region, operating in the state sector, with 317 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 493. The school has been open since 1912.

With 317 students on roll, Redwoodtown School is a large school — larger than about 63% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 493, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.49 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
