Somerfield Te Kura Wairepo

Somerfield Te Kura Wairepo is a co-educational contributing school in Christchurch, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 571 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 419. The school has been open since 1911.

With 571 students on roll, Somerfield Te Kura Wairepo is a large school — larger than about 85% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 419, 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 44 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 73.5%, with a meaningful Asian community at 15.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.12 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
