A school where every student is known, supported and challenged to succeed.
At Kelmscott Primary School, we believe every child can learn, grow and achieve. We combine high expectations with high levels of support, creating a school where students feel safe, connected and ready to learn.
Our approach is simple: know our students, teach them well and respond to what they need.
High Expectations for Every Student
We are ambitious for our students.
We set high expectations for learning, behaviour and personal growth and support our students to reach them. We celebrate achievement, recognise progress and encourage our students to take pride in themselves, their learning and their school.
Great Teaching in Every Classroom
Great teaching makes a difference.
Our teachers use a consistent, evidence-based approach to teaching across the school. Learning is explicit, carefully sequenced and supported by regular review and checks for understanding.
This consistency means students know what to expect as they move from classroom to classroom and year to year.
Every Child Known
Knowing our students is fundamental to helping them succeed.
Our teachers use assessment, observation and strong relationships to understand where each student is in their learning and what they need next.
When students require additional support, we respond. When they are ready for greater challenge, we extend them.
Strong Foundations
Literacy and Numeracy are at the heart of learning at KPS.
We explicitly teach the knowledge and skills students need to become confident readers, writers, mathematicians and learners. Our whole-school approaches provide consistency while allowing teachers to respond to the individual needs of their students.
Opportunities to Shine
There is more to school than what happens during Literacy and Numeracy.
Students at KPS have opportunities across sport, music, art, science, leadership, clubs and community activities. We want our students to discover their strengths, develop confidence and experience success in different ways.
A Strong Community
KPS is more than a school. It is a community.
We value strong partnerships between students, staff, families and our wider community. We believe the best outcomes for children are achieved when schools and families work together with trust, respect and a shared commitment to our students.
One Team. One Family. One School. One Vision.
We are proud of our history, proud of our community and ambitious about our future.
Most importantly, we are proud to be KPS.
