About Takapuna Normal Intermediate

Takapuna Normal Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 730 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 371. The school has been open since 1970.

With 730 students on roll, Takapuna Normal Intermediate is a very large school — larger than about 90% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 371, 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 92 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 54.9% and European at 32.7%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.07 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
