Welcome to West Cliff Primary School
West Cliff Primary School is a warm, welcoming and inclusive community school in the heart of Whitby, providing education for children aged 2 to 11. We are proud of our nurturing environment, where children are encouraged to develop as confident, resilient and independent learners who are willing to 'tame their tigers' and embrace new challenges.
Our vision is for every child to reach their full potential in a climate that is fun, stimulating and exciting. We strive to be a school where children feel safe, happy and valued, where everyone is treated with care and respect, and where positive relationships with families and the wider community help our children flourish.
At the heart of our work are the values of Caring, Happy, Inspiring and Achieving, which underpin all aspects of school life. We are committed to a child-centred approach that educates the whole child through a challenging, evolving and engaging curriculum, while promoting the qualities of responsible citizenship, respect and ambition.
As a beach school, we make full use of our unique coastal location, providing rich opportunities for outdoor learning that inspire curiosity, creativity and a love of learning beyond the classroom. Our dedicated staff team works collaboratively to provide high-quality educational experiences and personalised support for every child.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a committed and supportive team that is passionate about making a difference to children's lives and ensuring every pupil can achieve their very best.
