About Clearwater Church of England Primary Academy

Clearwater Church of England Primary Academy in Gloucester was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, with inspectors singling out personal development and behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding. On the key academic metric for primary schools, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 50 per cent in the 2023/24 academic year. That is below the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59 per cent, placing the school 133rd out of 243 primary schools in the county. Within the city of Gloucester itself, the school ranks 15th out of 25 primaries on this measure, putting it in the bottom half of local schools. The data suggests a mixed picture: while writing outcomes are relatively strong, with 77 per cent of pupils meeting the expected standard, maths and reading both sit at 63 per cent, and only 7 per cent of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
