Tawa School

Tawa School is a co-educational full primary school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 425 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 426. The school has been open since 1858.

With 425 students on roll, Tawa School is a large school — larger than about 75% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 426, which is 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 roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 47.1% and Asian at 32.3%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.15 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
