Mission Statement
At Edgecumbe School, our mission is to empower every ākonga (learner) to thrive within the unique environment of the Rangitaiki Plains. Grounded in the principals of the Treaty of Waitangi, we commit to a partnership that honours mana whenua, celebrates our dual heritage, and fosters an inclusive community where te reo Māori and tikanga are lived every day.
By connecting our tamariki and rangitahi to the land, the rivers, and Awatanga, we cultivate resilient, curious, culturally confident learners who are ready to contribute to a sustainable and equitable future.
Welcome to
Edgecumbe School
Edgecumbe School is a full primary school (Year 0-8) situated in the heart of the Rangitaiki Plains, in the small rural township of Edgecumbe. With a roll fluctuating between 190 and 220, students are drawn from the township as well as the surrounding district.
Some of the key buildings date from 1928 and reflect the design of the day. The Board are keen to maintain the country feel in its design and rebuilding programme. In 2023 a number of key structural projects were completed allowing the school to start modernizing teaching spaces throughout the school.

· A separate block, The Lockwood for the senior school,
· Four classroom blocks,
· A library,
