About Tinui School

Tinui School is a co-educational full primary school in Masterton, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 19 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 466. The school has been open since 1876.

With 19 students on roll, Tinui School 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 466, 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.

100% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Māori descent make up 0%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.74 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.

Total roll recorded: 19 students, from the 2026 roll census. Percentages may not sum to exactly 100% because of rounding and students who decline to state an ethnicity.
