West Cliff Primary

West Cliff Primary School is a warm and friendly community school that provides education from children aged 2-11. It currently has approximately 200 children on roll, divided into 9 classes (one for each year group & Rockpool).

One of our classes is a nursery class that takes children from 2 years old. The school mainly takes children from the west side and the centre of Whitby - but is accessible from all parts of the town.

We pride ourselves on providing a warm and welcoming environment for children and adults alike, and we strive to provide the very best standard of education possible for our children.

The school has a before and after school club (The Ocean Fun Club), offering wraparound care for children from 7.45 until 5.15. This is open to all children including our nursery children. Prices are £2.50 for breakfast and £2.50 per hour after school. Please book a place using the My Child at School app.

🌊 Year 2 Beach & Lifeboat Adventures! 🚤🐢 What an amazing few days our terrific Turtle Team have had! As always, the children have been inquisitive, kind, nurturing, and full of enthusiasm — a joy to take out and about. On our day on the beach, the children: Created brilliant sand sculptures Explored the rock pools Made (and enjoyed!) their own hot chocolate Raced the waves with huge smiles Today we continued our adventures with a visit to the RNLI lifeboat station and museum. The children learned about: The vital work of the RNLI and why it’s so important How the lifeboat station operates The funding needed to keep everything running and how it is used They were delighted to test the dry properties of Ryan’s inshore lifeboat suit, and even waved the crew off as they headed out on their training exercise. At the museum, the children explored the history of Whitby’s lifeboats, discovered how they’ve changed over time, and listened to inspiring stories of courage and bravery. A huge thank you to the staff and volunteers who generously gave up their time this morning — you helped make it a truly wonderful experience for our children. Our Turtle Team have been fantastic ambassadors for the school, and we are so proud of them. 💙 #RNLI #whitbylifeboatmuseum #whitbylifeboatstation

Penguin Class had amazing fun at the beach yesterday! They got to sit in our tipi and use their imaginations to invent beach stories! Invading Vikings on West Cliff Beach were mentioned… They mapped out their ideas and will turn them into written stories back in school. They also made their own snacks. We used Trangia stoves to cook tasty noodles which everything enjoyed! Delicious! ☀️🌊🐧🏖️
