Sherenden & Districts School is a rural, state, co-educational, full primary located 35 kms west of Hastings, 21kms up the Taihape Rd.

We have a roll of 47 students to begin the 2026 year- with children coming (primarily on one of our two buses) from Crownthorpe, Sherenden, Otamauri and Waiwhare districts to attend.

We pride ourselves on providing students with an education that caters to their individual needs.
