Key Findings

Cleves Cross is an outstanding school in every way, including the effectiveness of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

It is very well thought of by pupils, staff, parents and carers. The following comments from parents and carers illustrate this well: 'I have nothing but praise for the school' and 'A brilliant educational environment without exception'. Pupils' achievement is outstanding.

Children enter Reception with skills that are generally below those expected for their age and leave at the end of Year 6 with attainment that is typically above average. Equality of opportunity is outstanding with all groups of pupils making excellent progress throughout the school. Teaching is outstanding....r/>
Teachers plan interesting and innovative lessons that are tailor-made to challenge all pupils at an appropriate level. They regularly mark pupils' work most effectively and make it clear to them how they can improve it. However, occasionally the enthusiasm of the pupils to be involved in evaluating their own learning is not always maximised.

Pupils' behaviour is exemplary, particularly their eagerness to contribute to their own learning. They are very polite and welcoming and they look after each other very well through roles such as mediators, buddies and minibuds. They are extremely proud of the school's Rights Respecting award and in drawing up their own class charters of school rules.

Pupils say they feel very safe in school. They are very proactive in the promotion of their own safety and that of others. Attendance is consistently above average and rising.

Leadership and management at all levels, including governance, are outstanding. All members of staff are highly ambitious for their pupils. The curriculum and the promotion of the pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development are outstanding.

Along with very successful leadership of teaching and management of performance, these aspects create an extremely enjoyable and highly effective learning environment.
