**Location Profile**:
Kyneton Primary School has an enrolment of approximately 350 students. We have a regular prep enrolment of about 50 students each year. The school is situated in Kyneton a town of 8700 people and an hour’s drive north east of Melbourne. Kyneton Primary School is situated in Edgecombe Street and has been a major part of Kyneton since 1856.

The large majority of our Year 6 students transition to Kyneton High School. We are a family friendly school and strongly encourage parents to become involved in assisting in the classrooms, or with school programs and activities.

At the start of Term 2 2018 we relocated to a new school in Edgecombe Street. The new Kyneton Primary School has been hailed as a “benchmark for educational design”. The school has embraced 21st century learning and ventured beyond the traditional classroom. The layout is flexible, sustainable and allows educators to perform at the cutting edge of teaching and learning. The result is a design that embraces technology but treats every space within the school and its grounds as a place to learn. The learning environments encourage students to become independent and creative with spaces that accommodate small or large groups so children can work according to their needs and abilities.

At Kyneton Primary School, we believe our children are entitled to a high quality education that is respectful of, and responsive to, their existing competencies, cultural heritage and histories. We want our children to learn to their full potential in an inspiring, challenging and supportive environment. Our families are entitled to be confident that their children will have access to an education that promotes equity and excellence whilst attending to the wellbeing of all children.

Our school uses the Restorative Practices Model of Behaviour Management and is guided by our Strategic Plan which aims to continue to improve and maximize student performance with a particular focus on literacy and numeracy, ensure supportive transition at all levels in order to maximise student outcomes and to nurture a caring, safe and motivating environment which promotes self discipline, mutual respect and tolerance, self esteem and general pride. Our School Values are caring, respect, persistence, pride, responsibility and excellence.
