What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Clinton Primary School is a vibrant and inclusive community where pupils thrive academically and personally. Pupils behave well and show respect for one another. This creates a warm and supportive environment for all. Pupils relish living up to the high expectations set for them by the school. Pupils develop resilience and character through the 'Clinton characteristics'. This approach equips pupils with the skills and confidence they will need for life beyond primary school. The school song, which pupils love to sing, helps them to understand these values. The enthusiastic singing of lines such as 'It's who we all aspire to be; we're one big Clinton family; that's us!' demonstrates their pride and sense of belonging. The curriculum is enriched by a variety of trips, experiences and clubs, with older pupils often leading activities for their younger friends. This fosters a sense of responsibility and collaboration. Through taking on roles such as school councillors or eco councillors, pupils are empowered to make real differences in their school and wider community. Opportunities to shine abound, whether performing in the school orchestra or on stage at a local theatre or castle. The school offers an inspiring education, preparing pupils well for a bright and successful future.
What the school should improve
- In foundation subjects, the school does not systematically check that pupils remember previous learning over time. This means that some pupils have some knowledge gaps in previously taught content. The school should ensure that it checks pupils' learning over time, so that they know more and remember more in these subjects.
- In a small number of areas, the school does not check the impact of some actions sharply enough. This means that they do not always know what is working well and what needs improvement. The school should ensure that they routinely evaluate the impact of these areas of their work to support driving forward with school improvement.
