Te Pā Wānanga o Ōmaka Marae at a glance

Te Pā Wānanga o Ōmaka Marae is a co-educational full primary school in Blenheim, within the Marlborough Region, operating in the state sector, with 48 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 526. The school has been open since 2026.

With 48 students on roll, Te Pā Wānanga o Ōmaka Marae is a very small school — larger than about 14% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 526, 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 63 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 66.7%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 27.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.55 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
