Churchlands Primary School was established in February 1965 as a 'Demonstration School' to aid in the training of new teachers. In 1972 the school was built on its present site. It was one of the first open area or cluster design schools built in WA. The school grounds are spacious and attractive. Over 400 students from Kindergarten to Year 7, and representing 30 nationalities, are enrolled in the school. The students are motivated and high achieving. The school's mission is to provide a stimulating educational environment where each child will be motivated and challenged to achieve their potential. Churchlands Primary has developed an outstanding reputation for the achievements of its students academically and in the arts. A strong music program exists with most middle and upper primary students receiving specialised tuition in wind, strings or brass. There is a strong focus on environmental education which is intertwined with all learning areas. The staff is very professional and takes pride in the school's accomplishments. The school is well resourced due to a proactive P&C and School Council which are very supportive of the school and its operation.
