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 850, which will
increase significantly to over 950 in 2023, 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.
Our Background
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.
Learning Communities are designed around modifiable
spaces that accommodate multiple learning approaches
and can flexibly respond to the requirements of
students and teachers, creating a sense of shared
ownership, inclusion and everyday learning. At Aintree
Primary School we will ensure that our students are at
the centre of everything that we do. We will create a
learning community that values diversity, inclusion
and high expectations for all students which results
in excellence for everyone. Our collective
responsibility will be to ensure that our students
leave our school as well-rounded, critical and
creative thinkers who value lifelong learning and who
are resilient, respectful and kind citizens.
