'Every child matters every day' underpins the West Byford Way. We know that all students can achieve their personal best with the support of a connected, collaborative school community.
West Byford Primary School supports high-quality teaching through contemporary evidence-based educational pedagogy focused on students' academic, social and emotional development. We are committed to high impact, evidence-based teaching and learning practices that increase engagement and lead to improved student outcomes.
Student wellbeing is targeted through whole school explicit teaching, and programs including 'Breakfast Club' and 'You Can Do It', which are run weekly and supported by the WBPS Wellbeing Team and the SAER Team.

Thriving Culture and Community
Our thriving school community comes from knowing that together we make a difference; staff, students, and the community can all participate in, contribute to and benefit from being a part of West Byford Primary School. Diversity is valued and supported through an inclusive culture that celebrates the skills and insights of all people in our school community.
Relationships and partnerships are actively established and maintained, based on mutual trust and respect, open and honest communication, and a shared responsibility for our students. Strong family-school and community relationships create a culture of coming together to improve student learning and wellbeing.
Our school calendar features many events, opportunities and celebrations throughout the year, creating a dynamic and vibrant school where everyone belongs. We have an active and highly valued Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association that contributes to and enhances the learning environment for all children.

Strong Shared Leadership
A strong shared leadership structure is in place where all staff can influence and impact student progress and achievement. Staff and student agency create deep impact when combined with whole-school pedagogy, beliefs, programs and initiatives.
A commitment to student voice is demonstrated through the Year Six Leadership Team, Student Representative Council, Aboriginal Leadership Group and Waste Warriors.
School resources are expertly managed and deployed to ensure maximum impact on student learning. We strive to remove extraneous workload from Teachers and Instructional Leaders/Deputy Principals so a greater focus on the core business of teaching and learning can be maintained.
