Te Kura ā Iwi o Pawarenga

Te Kura ā Iwi o Pawarenga is a co-educational full primary school in Broadwood, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 17 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 537. The school has been open since 2020.

With 17 students on roll, Te Kura ā Iwi o Pawarenga is a very small school — larger than about 6% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 537, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 74 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 50% and Pasifika at 50%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 3.01 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
