About Te Matauru Primary

Te Matauru Primary is a co-educational full primary school in Rangiora, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 252 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 445. The school has been open since 2020.

With 252 students on roll, Te Matauru Primary is a medium-sized school — larger than about 55% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 445, 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.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.44 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
