Background

Aintree Primary School is located on 3.5 hectares of land at 11 Timbertop Parade, Aintree 3336 (Local Government Area of Melton). The school opened for enrolments in F - 6 year levels in Term 1, 2021. The school has a current enrolment of 990 which will increase significantly, with continued growth expected over the next 4 - 5 years.

The school belongs to the successful Brimbank/Melton Network of Schools which includes three other new Government schools alongside well-established and thriving schools across primary, secondary, Specialist, P-9 and Senior Secondary.

There is a Children and Community Hub adjacent to the school which houses Kindergarten, Maternal and Child Health and community facilities. Together Aintree Primary School and the Hub can help local children make a smooth transition from pre-school and reduce the number of drop-offs for some parents with kinder and school-aged children.

Educational Vision

Teaching spaces in the Aintree Primary School allow for full implementation of a professional learning community approach.

Integrated planning and delivery, reflecting on the impact of teaching practice, professional interaction and activation of student voice using evidence-based, high impact teaching strategies are all central to the educational vision.
