Freshwater Bay Primary School is situated centrally in the suburb of Claremont at the mid-point of road and rail links between Perth and Fremantle. After the formal decision to amalgamate the two schools in 2010, Freshwater Bay Primary School came into operation at the beginning of 2011.

The process of amalgamating two schools (East Claremont and Claremont Primary Schools) into a vibrant, contemporary learning community has presented many opportunities for excellence. At present Freshwater Bay Primary School is being extensively refurbished and new buildings are nearing completion.
