TKKM o Tuia te Matangi at a glance

TKKM o Tuia te Matangi is a co-educational composite school in Richmond, within the Tasman Region, operating in the state sector, with 50 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 513. The school has been open since 2012.

With 50 students on roll, TKKM o Tuia te Matangi is a small school — larger than about 15% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 513, 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 50 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 58.3%, with a meaningful European community at 41.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.29 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
