AddressClyde Primary School, established on its current site in 1910, is located in the community of Clyde in the City of Casey, one of Melbourne¿s fastest growing areas. The school is 5 kilometres east of Cranbourne and 10 kilometres south of Berwick. The physical environment of the school has much to offer with mature trees, a large oval and adjacent farmland giving the school a rural feel.
In 2022, major works were in progress at Clyde Primary School, constructing extra buildings and facilities on new land, as well as modernising and upgrading existing facilities. The works include 11 new general learning areas, Administration areas, specialist art, STEM and music areas as well as a full-size gymnasium with a competition-grade basketball court.
Clyde Primary School¿s student enrolment is consistently increasing each year and throughout the year. The total number of students for 2024 is around 500 from Foundation to Year 6. Our enrolments are continuing to increase due to significant housing development in the area and we anticipate that this will continue in the coming years. Students come from a wide geographic area and student intake is from many different kindergartens. Graduating Year 6 students feed a range of secondary settings including a variety of government and private secondary settings.
The class structure at Clyde Primary School is based on same cohort groups for each PLT. The current composition consists of four foundation classes, three classes at Year 1, three classes at Year 2, three classes at Year 3, three classes at Year 4, three classes at Year 5 and three classes at Year 6. Specialist classes that are provided include Physical Education (PE), Art, Digital Technology, LOTE and Music

1 Learning Specialist, 32 Teachers (26 full time, 6 part time) and 9 ES staff. All teachers at Clyde PS work within a whole school PLC (Professional Learning Community) and within sub-school Professional Learning Teams (PLTs).
Curriculum planning commences in our PLT meetings. In PLT meetings staff use data analysis created from the curriculum and other research base to ensure that they are planning for each student¿s individual needs. They use PLTs to plan for extension, intervention and to identify effective teaching strategies. Staff attend a Professional Learning Session on Monday and Thursday afternoons.
Clyde PS run additional programs to support students throughout their schooling. These include School Camps, Chaplaincy Program, Transition Programs, Before and After School Program, Life Education, Student Representative Council, Swimming Program, School Performances, Instrumental Music Program and Christmas Concerts.
