What "enrolment scheme" means

What a "Yes" or "No" in the enrolment scheme column actually determines for a family applying to a school in Methven.

  • A school with an enrolment scheme (a home zone) must enrol every child who lives inside it.
  • A school with no scheme listed can generally accept enrolments from anywhere.

Reading the Equity Index

Two quick things worth remembering when comparing EQI numbers across the table above.

  • A higher number means more estimated socio-economic barriers, not a "better" or "worse" school.
  • Private schools don't receive an Equity Index.
