Stoke School

Welcome to the Stoke School website.

Our Vision at Stoke School is for students to be confident, connected, actively involved lifelong learners through our values expressed in “We’re Stoked!”


Stoke School is a state funded co-educational contributing school catering for children from Year 0 to Year 6. We have 10 teaching staff (2012) who are well supported by ancillary staff.

We are proud of our growing cultural diversity with 35% of our students of Maori descent, 6% Pacific Island, five ESOL students and the remaining students New Zealand Europeans.

We are well supported by the community. Parents become involved willingly in classrooms, sporting, cultural and social activities involving children. We have an active PTA fundraising group and very proactive Board of Trustees.

We have extensive grounds with ample shade for the Nelson sun and fantastic facilities thanks to the generous support from local charities, majority of which from the Canterbury Community Trust and our fundraising team.
