Welcome to Saddleworth Primary  School.

 

At Saddleworth Primary School, every student is known, valued and encouraged to be their best. Saddleworth Primary School is a welcoming Reception to Year 6 school where learning, belonging and community are at the heart of everything we do. As a small school with a proud history and strong community connections, we provide a supportive and inclusive environment where every child has the opportunity to grow, learn and thrive.

We believe that great learning starts with strong relationships. Our dedicated staff know our students well and work closely with families to understand each child’s strengths, interests and individual learning needs. We have high expectations for all students and encourage them to be curious, confident, resilient and willing to embrace challenge.

Our learning programs combine explicit teaching with engaging inquirybased experiences, allowing students to ask questions, investigate, problemsolve and connect their learning to the real world. We are committed to developing effective learners who understand how they learn, can reflect on their progress and increasingly take ownership of their learning.

One of the great strengths of Saddleworth Primary School is our sense of community. Our students develop strong relationships across year levels and are encouraged to look out for one another, contribute to school life and take pride in their school and wider community. Through sport, leadership, cultural activities, community projects and a wide range of learning experiences, our students are given opportunities to discover their passions and develop confidence beyond the classroom.

We are proud of our strong partnerships with families and the wider Saddleworth community. Local connections provide our students with authentic opportunities to learn, contribute and understand the important role they can play in their community. We believe that when schools, families and communities work together, children are given the strongest foundations for success.

Saddleworth Primary School is a place where children can be themselves, have a go, make mistakes, discover their strengths and celebrate their achievements.

We invite you to come and experience our school for yourself. Come and meet our students, see our classrooms, talk with our staff and discover what makes Saddleworth Primary School such a special place to learn.
