About Te One School
Te One School is a co-educational full primary school in Chatham Islands, within the Area Outside Region, operating in the state sector, with 59 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 483. The school has been open since 1885.
With 59 students on roll, Te One School is a small school — larger than about 17% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.
The school's Equity Index is 483, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.
86% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 8.8%.
On the isolation index the school scores 22 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
