About Wesley College

Wesley College is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Pukekohe, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 326 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 509. The school has been open since 1858.

With 326 students on roll, Wesley College is a large school — larger than about 64% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 509, 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 46 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

81% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of European descent make up 11.9%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.26 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
