About Cleadon Church of England Academy

Cleadon Church of England Academy is a school that local parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 151 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.56. Of those applicants, 74 put it as their first preference, and all 59 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand is a strong signal of satisfaction, and it’s backed up by the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, which rated personal development and behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding. The leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision were all judged Good. It’s worth noting that the school’s previous inspection in 2011 rated it Outstanding overall, so while the headline grade has moved to Good, inspectors still found plenty to praise in the way pupils conduct themselves and grow as individuals.
