What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 November 2025
Staff create a warm, welcoming start to the day. Pupils arrive at school ready to learn. They feel known and valued as individuals because adults understand and support their needs and ambitions. Extremely positive relationships between pupils and staff help to foster a deep sense of belonging. Pupils who need extra care receive highly appropriate, tailored individual support. This support makes a real difference to their wellbeing, attendance and learning. As a result, most pupils achieve well and attend regularly. They enjoy learning and are well prepared for their next steps. Behaviour across the school reflects a positive and highly respectful culture. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and those who are vulnerable, are fully included in every aspect of school life. Acts of kindness and compassion are typical between pupils. Pupils help each other throughout the day and take pride in 'buddying up' to offer support. These experiences strengthen friendships and promote a remarkably calm and purposeful atmosphere. Beyond lessons, pupils benefit from clubs, visits and residentials that broaden their horizons. They learn how to stay safe through highly useful practical guidance on road and water safety. Pupils enjoy learning and take on responsibilities within the school that build confidence and character. These experiences help pupils understand how to make positive choices and provide opportunities for them to contribute to their community. Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff truly is one big family made up of pupils, parents and carers, staff and the wider community.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that the activities adults use in the early years are sufficiently well designed and ambitious so that children consistently build upon what they already know and can do.
- Leaders should continue to embed the work that has taken place, so that pupils continue to develop a deep body of knowledge and skills across the curriculum, including in mathematics.
