The school currently has an enrolment of 335 students with 14 classrooms and offers 3 specialist programs delivering instruction in Performing Arts, Visual Arts and Physical Education.

Our school is committed to maximising student engagement with a strong grounding in the key learning areas with a particular focus on literacy and numeracy.  We are also committed to developing a wide range of opportunities for our students to engage in beyond the classroom such as sport, drama, camps and excursions

Using the School-wide positive behaviour support (SWPBS) framework we provide a dynamic learning community that provides structured learning to enable students to reach their potential in a safe, supportive and friendly environment.  We have a strong emphasis on instilling our school values and expectations of Respect, Responsibility, Resilience and Readiness to Learn.

Broadford Primary School encourages all of our children to become independent learners and to develop their leadership skills. Our school motto is `Believe in Yourself"  and our aim is for all our students to achieve their full potential and to prepare them to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
