What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 January 2025

Putting pupils' best interests first lies at the heart of decision-making at Clifford Bridge Academy. Pupils settle well into school life whenever they join the school. They understand the school's high expectations for their behaviour and for their learning. As a result, pupils show excellent attitudes to learning, and their behaviour is exemplary. The caring and nurturing nature of the school means that pupils feel safe and happy in school. They attend well. The school makes every effort to get to know each pupil so that it can support them in a way that helps them most. This means that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. They are well prepared for the challenges of secondary education. Pupils are positive about the many extra-curricular experiences on offer at school. These activities allow pupils to develop their talents and skills. Pupils say that they can always find something they want to get involved with. For example, some older pupils have joined the school council, and budding musicians have joined the school band, 'Take it To The Bridge'. Others have become school librarians.

What the school should improve

  • The curriculums in a few foundation subjects have not yet shown their full impact. Pupils have some gaps in knowledge in these subjects. The school should continue to strengthen its approach to checking and closing gaps in knowledge in these subjects and ensure that pupils are given regular opportunities to apply and deepen their knowledge.
