About Cleves Primary School

Cleves Primary School in Newham has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a significant leap from its Requires Improvement rating in 2013. The most recent graded inspection in 2015 awarded top marks across the board, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Outstanding. But the real story is in the Key Stage 2 results. In the 2023/24 academic year, 93% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is well above the Newham local authority average of 74%, and it places Cleves second out of 61 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, the school sits in the top 2% of all primary schools for this combined measure, a remarkable achievement for a state school with a third of its pupils eligible for free school meals.
