About Clifton Primary School

Clifton Primary School in Hull holds an Ofsted Outstanding rating, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2016, with a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirming the school remains Outstanding. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 77% of pupils hit that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That puts the school comfortably above the Kingston upon Hull local authority average of 65%, and ranks it 13th out of 69 primary schools in the area, placing it in the top 25% of schools locally. In the wider Yorkshire and the Humber region, it sits in the top 14% of schools, and nationally it ranks in the top 16%. For a school with a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 47.6% — these results are particularly strong.
