Clervaux Nursery School
About Clervaux Nursery School
Clervaux Nursery School is one of only four state nursery schools in South Tyneside, and it shares the distinction with all of them of holding an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. That puts it at the very top of the local authority's provision for two-to-five-year-olds, with no school in its category graded lower. The most recent graded inspection, in 2014, awarded the school top marks across the board — leadership and management, overall effectiveness — and an ungraded inspection in June 2023 confirmed it 'remains Outstanding'. For parents in South Tyneside, this means Clervaux is not just a good local option; it is part of a small, elite group of nurseries that have consistently met the highest standards. The school's headteacher, Jenny Parker, leads a setting of 84 pupils, and the fact that every nursery in the LA holds the same rating suggests a strong, well-supported early years sector in the area.
