About Cleeve School

Cleeve School, a large mixed secondary in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in January 2025, with two of its five assessed categories judged Outstanding. The school’s sixth-form provision and personal development both earned the top grade, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management all remained Good. The most telling exam metric is the school’s Progress 8 score of 0.22, which is rated as ‘Above average’ nationally. This means pupils at Cleeve typically achieve nearly a quarter of a grade more per subject than students with similar starting points across England. The school ranks third out of six secondary schools in Tewkesbury on this measure, and 19th out of 44 schools of the same type across Gloucestershire. Its Attainment 8 score of 50.6 and a strong basics measure — 73.9% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and maths — underline solid academic foundations.
