About St Heliers School

St Heliers School is a co-educational full primary school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 679 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 366. The school has been open since 1877.

With 679 students on roll, St Heliers School is a large school — larger than about 89% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 366, 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 97 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 57.7%, with a meaningful Asian community at 28.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.36 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
