Northcliffe School was first established in 1928 with an enrolment of 30 children. Its numbers fluctuated over the years with pupil enrolments dropping down to as low as 18 at the beginning of 1943. A great influx of numbers came with the Post World War II land settlement. Other influences were the closure of the group settlement schools. In 1946 the school bus program was initiated in the South West of Western Australia and a lot of isolated one teacher schools became unviable and were subsequently closed. This saw the end of most of the group settlement schools around the Northcliffe district. In 2005 the Northcliffe School was a District High School. Numbers had increased slightly with the closure of the Quinninup School in 2004. Refer to 16.2 for more historical notes
