About Clifton All Saints Academy

Clifton All Saints Academy is a Church of England primary school in Central Bedfordshire that is running almost exactly at capacity, with 241 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 242. This near-full occupancy is matched by strong demand for places: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 73 applications for 30 places, with 40 of those applicants naming it as their first preference. The oversubscription ratio of 2.43 applicants per place signals a school that local families are actively seeking out. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.7%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting the school draws from a relatively less disadvantaged catchment. The school serves children from age 2 through to 11 and includes a nursery provision, making it a single-site option for families looking for continuity from early years through to the end of Key Stage 2.
