Ofsted Inspection

Our last Inspection Report was May 2009. We were judged to be an 'Outstanding School'.

Here are a few quotes:

  • Pupils' achievement is outstanding and they make excellent progress.
  • Pupils' behaviour is outstanding and they are polite and respectful.
  • The quality of teaching and learning is outstanding. Sustained challenge and high expectations enable pupils to make exceptional progress.
  • The outstanding curriculum ensures that learning is meaningful and fun because it carefully and imaginatively plans themes with strong links between subjects.
  • Induction programmes are outstanding for those who arrive throughout the year and those starting in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
  • Outstanding leadership and management are at the heart of the school's success.

School Uniform

At Clifton Primary, our school uniform consists of red tops, white shirts and grey trousers or skirts. These can be bought from most shops. You can buy a special Clifton Primary sweatshirt with our logo on for £5. Please contact the school if you would like to purchase one of these for your child.

PE and Swimming Kit

Children are required to wear a PE kit for physical development activities. The colours are red, grey and black and the kit must include a t-shirt, shorts, leggings or jogging bottoms and black pumps.

Please make sure that the kit is clearly marked with your child's name on it and that it is checked regularly as your child grows. The PE kit is best kept in a pump bag and left in school during term time.

Each child from Year 2 to Year 6 will go swimming with their class for one term as part of the National Curriculum, so your child will need a swimming costume and a towel for swimming sessions.
