Wairarapa Cobham Intermediate

Wairarapa Cobham Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Christchurch, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 678 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 405. The school has been open since 1963.

With 678 students on roll, Wairarapa Cobham Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 89% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 405, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 58 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 48.3% and European at 41.1%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.19 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
