Springlands School is a co-educational contributing school in Blenheim, within the Marlborough Region, operating in the state sector, with 356 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 435. The school has been open since 1886.

With 356 students on roll, Springlands School is a large school — larger than about 68% of New Zealand schools.
