Nailsworth Primary School

Welcome to Nailsworth Primary School, located in Nailsworth, Balfour Street, 2, South Australia. As a South Australian Government school, we are dedicated to providing quality education for foundation to year 6 children. Situated in the City of Prospect, our school is conveniently close to the Adelaide CBD, just 6km north.

Nailsworth Primary School is nestled in the peaceful and picturesque tree-lined streets of Nailsworth, creating a serene and conducive learning environment. With over 500 students, our school offers a range of facilities and resources to cater to their needs. Our stunning 1800s-character buildings have been meticulously maintained and refurbished, providing students and staff with comfortable and modern learning spaces.

The school grounds are expansive, featuring large grassed and asphalt playing areas for students to enjoy. We also have a beautifully shaded playground and nature play space, allowing children to connect with nature while having fun.

Due to the increasing demand for enrolment at Nailsworth Primary School, we are excited to announce that the old Prospect library building, owned by the Department for Education, has been returned to us. We eagerly await the multi-million-dollar redevelopment of this building, which will provide additional specialized learning spaces and accommodation.

At Nailsworth Primary School, we believe in fostering personal and academic growth. Through embracing challenges, thinking critically and creatively, and responding to feedback, our students develop lifelong learning skills. We also value a welcoming and inclusive community that celebrates diversity, encourages parent engagement, amplifies student voices, and promotes a sense of belonging.

Our school culture is centered around kindness, building positive relationships, using respectful language, and maintaining a safe learning environment. We acknowledge and respect the traditional lands of the Kaurna people, who are the custodians of the Adelaide region. We honor their spiritual relationship with their country, including the land, creatures, plants, and waterways. We also pay our respects to the Kaurna Elders, both past and present.
