Watercliffe Meadow is an over-subscribed two form entry primary school with nursery, with 500 pupils on roll. Although we are a relatively large primary, many people refer to us as a big happy family.

Watercliffe Meadow opened in 2008, after the closure of Watermead and Busk Meadow infants and Shirecliffe Junior School. We have many long serving members of staff, with a third of them being with us from our first day of opening after having worked at the three schools that closed.

Our Headteacher is highly respected in Sheffield for his work with Learn Sheffield and the Local Authority and is supported by our Head of School, who has taught in Shirecliffe for over 28 years. They both were instrumental in the opening of Watercliffe Meadow.

We are very lucky to have a modern and well-resourced building with two MUGAs, a playing field/running track and two staff car parks. Unlike many schools, we have our own employed catering team.

We are proud to be a local authority maintained school with a supportive governing body.
