Schofields Public School has created a supportive, cooperative and engaging learning environment that emphasises high standards and clear, explicit teaching methods, with data-driven practices implemented through strong instructional leadership.
Our vision is to enhance our community partnerships by encouraging respectful conversations and using a PBL framework. This approach works together to amplify student voice and feedback, helping all students become confident, resilient, independent, and successful learners.
In early 2024, Schofields Public School took part in External Validation. This process allowed the school to engage in detailed discussions and collaborate on analysing collected information to identify the school's strengths and plan for future directions.
We are in the Northwest growth area of Sydney. The school has grown rapidly over the past six years, with current enrolment of 1170 students. 76% of students have a language background other than English and 2% of students have an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background.
The school has 50 classes including five inclusive support classes. The school enjoys strong support from parents who value academic excellence, high standards and a love of learning.
A major upgrade is underway at the school including 24 classrooms, staff rooms and amenities. A collaborative team-teaching approach is central to building collective teacher efficacy and embedding effective teaching practice in each classroom.
School Excellence drives the strategic directions of the school with a future focus of High Potential and Gifted Education, data driven collaborative practice and differentiated instruction.
Our committed and attentive staff prioritise student learning and wellbeing. A blend of experienced and early career teachers deliver meaningful and engaging learning experiences that meet the needs of students.
As the lyrics to our school song tell us…………..Schofields Public School is …………… a very nice place to be.
