About Sumner School
Welcome to Sumner School, a vibrant and inclusive community located on the picturesque Colenso Street in the heart of Christchurch's suburb of Sumner within Canterbury.
At our full primary co-educational school, we cherish diversity as one of our core values. With approximately 310 students enrolled across various year levels, each child is an integral part of the fabric that makes up this community's rich tapestry.
Under the leadership of Principal Anna Granger, a dedicated professional committed to fostering growth and learning in every student, Sumner School has become more than just another educational institution. It stands as a testament to New Zealand’s dedication to nurturing young minds with respect for all genders.
Our school's location within Christchurch not only provides our students access to the city's cultural experiences but also connects them deeply with their Canterbury roots. As a state-run institution, we pride ourselves on offering an education that is both comprehensive and compassionate.
