Clifford Primary School

School overview

Clifford Primary School is a primary school serving Clifford, Herefordshire, County of, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 96 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 94% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 23.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 25% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 111 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Clifford Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
