Whitchurch Primary school is situated on the outskirts of the picturesque town of Tavistock, on the very edge of Dartmoor National Park.  It is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain.  It is a mixed primary school for children between the ages of 4 and 11 years where staff, parents and governors work together to ensure that every child achieves their best.

We make the most of our unique position by linking it to our curriculum design, so that the children learn to value and appreciate their locality.

Whitchurch School is a one form entry school. There are seven classes, from Foundation Stage through to year 6. All children are allocated a School House and we are very proud of our family feel, where children from every age group meet for House Assemblies and other events such as Sports Day.

We have wonderful facilities that can be used for many aspects of the Primary Curriculum and are also used by the wider community. Our facilities include a large playground, school field, woodland conservation area and outdoor area for the Early Years provision in the Foundation Stage, all providing a wonderful outdoor learning environment. We have a well-resourced and well-used library which supports our commitment to placing reading as a priority for learning across the school. 

Westcliff Primary Academy is part of First Federation Trust, a multi-academy of 29 primary schools across Plymouth, Devon and West Dorset.
