TKKM o Manawatu

TKKM o Manawatu is a co-educational full primary school in Palmerston North, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 119 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 506. The school has been open since 1990.

With 119 students on roll, TKKM o Manawatu is a medium-sized school — larger than about 30% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 506, 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 43 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 60%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 40% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.17 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
