Metford Public School
At Metford Public School we believe that when every student is known, valued and cared for, they are empowered to be successful and resilient learners. A culture that promotes a collaborative approach ensures the best possible learning opportunities for every student at every level across the school. As a school community, we strive towards inclusivity in an environment that nutures, encourages high expectations, continuous improvement, individual success and confidence to achieve. Metford Public School is a focal point of the community and caters for students from kindergarten to year 6. Our current enrolment is 273 students in mainstream, K-6, and 22 students in a three class support unit that will increase to four classes in 2025. 30% of our students identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples, 45% require low level adjustments for disability and 8% of students have English as an Additional Language or Dialect. Our school has excellent facilities which include well maintained classrooms and access to large areas of green play space and two playground equipment areas.
