Department of Education - Victoria

Exford Primary School is situated in a semi-rural setting, which provides a safe, happy and friendly learning environment, which promotes pride, warmth and a sense of belonging. Our enrolment at Census is 331 students 2025 school year.

2025 saw the completion of our long-anticipated School Upgrade: we have completely rebuilt the school. We now have new Administration building, 19 new classrooms across the Junior and Senior Learning Buildings, an Art and a Music Room. The renovation of our BER building is also complete, creating a new Library, Science classroom and a Food preparation space. Our new Gymnasium, landscaping, new playground spaces and sports field have been in use from the start of the 2025 school year. 

Our staff are a dedicated team, with all teachers and ES staff sharing in the pastoral care of all children.  The results of our Staff Opinion survey are consistently high across all indicators, with a strong sense of culture, team work and support for each other.

Our two Learning Specialist teachers work closely with our teaching staff in our continuing focus on professional learning and supporting our Professional Learning Teams.  Our teachers plan together in PLTs, with a dedicated two hours devoted to this work (protected through our timetable using non-teaching time based on our local agreement). The PLT Leader (remunerated position) and the Learning Specialist work together to support the team¿s curriculum planning and professional learning. Our Leadership team provides feedback and coaching to all our classroom teachers.  This is an important element of our school¿s professional development and growth opportunities for our teaching team and links with our Performance and Development culture. 

We implement a successful Inclusion Program catering for students with a range of learning needs and disabilities and have moved from the Program for Students with Disabilities to the Disability Inclusion Program in 2024 and have begun its implementation. 

We offer OSH Club, providing Before and After School Care at our school.  We have a real focus on environmental sustainability at our school, in which the children play a leading role. 

At Exford Primary School we actively foster an environment where the partnership between staff, parents and students is highly valued, with children at the centre of our thinking and our actions. 

We support our students to demonstrate our school values of Respect, Kindness and Personal Best. Our school values are an intrinsic part of our school community and we instil high expectations for all of our community members, children and adults. 

Exford Primary School is committed to educational excellence and the development of a caring and stimulating environment: 

1. Students are encouraged to share the responsibility for their own learning, enabling them to reach their full potential. 

2. We value and actively promote partnership between parents and the school community. 

3. Learning experiences are structure to meet students¿ individual differences with achievements being recognised, promoted and celebrated. 

4. Each child is encouraged to develop social skills, independence, self confidence, consideration and respect for others.  The school promotes an awareness of consequences for actions. 

5. Curriculum and teaching responds to the ever-changing needs of the world in which we live.

Exford Primary School provides a comprehensive and rewarding curriculum that strives to meet the needs and interests of individual students.  It provides a friendly and secure environment for its students, staff and parents.
