Ofsted Inspection

Our last Ofsted Inspection was conducted in April 2025, when we were judged to have taken effective action to maintain the good standards identified at our previous inspection.

Here are a few quotes from the inspection report:

• This is a welcoming and inclusive school where every pupil is valued and nurtured.
• Pupils behave extremely well and try hard with their learning.
• The school’s values of ‘respect, care and listen’ are central to its work.
• [Clifton] is a school at the heart of its community.
• Skilled staff are swift to support pupils who need extra help, in particularly those who struggle with spoken English.
• There is a wealth of clubs on offer to develop pupils’ talents and interests.
• The school has developed a well-crafted curriculum that sets out the order of what pupils will learn and how they will learn it.
• Pupils with SEND flourish and achieve well.
• Staff are proud and happy to work at the school and make a strong, supportive team.
