About Clive School

Clive School is a primary school established in 1879, located in a semi-rural area between Napier and Hastings in Hawke's Bay. The school is state, non-faith-based, and co-educational.

The school organises its values around four concepts drawn from te reo Māori:

  • Manaaki — respect and care for oneself, others, and the wider environment
  • Kaitiaki — guardianship of the school, community, and world, including the Tuakana Teina relationship between older and younger learners
  • Hauora — wellbeing across physical, mental, whānau, and spiritual dimensions
  • Perseverance — commitment to achieving to the best of each student's ability

The school accepts enrolments from students living outside its home zone where spaces are available.

School donations

The Ministry of Education profile states that: "Donations should not be requested, unless for a school camp".

With an Equity Index of 450, Clive School is in the range eligible to opt into the Ministry's donations scheme — receiving additional government funding per student in exchange for not seeking donations (except for overnight camps).

Equity Index

The Ministry publishes this figure as a bare number — KuraData shows it against the directory-wide average, so you can see where Clive School actually sits, not just the number on its own.

Student ethnicity

The Ministry publishes this as a raw table — here it's visualised directly against Clive School's own roll, so the shape of it is clear at a glance.

  • European — 183 students (81.7%)
  • Asian — 9 students (4%)
  • Pacific — 16 students (7.1%)
  • Māori — 75 students (33.5%)
  • MELAA — 2 students (0.9%)

Percentages may sum to more than 100% because students can identify with more than one ethnic group.
