In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it places 134th out of 242 schools, placing it in the bottom half of the area. Among its immediate peers, the top performers are Longworth Primary School and Hornton Primary School, both with perfect ranking scores, followed by Brightwell-Cum-Sotwell Church of England Primary School on 92. Clanfield’s own ranking score of 57 places it in the bottom 50% tier nationally and regionally, though its position is not unusual for a village primary of this size.
