About Clifton Primary School

Clifton Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent graded inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 73% for the 2023/24 academic year. That figure places the school comfortably above the Salford local authority average of 61%, and ranks it 13th out of 65 primary schools in the borough — putting it in the top 20% of its local peers. When you look at individual subjects, the picture is similarly strong: 84% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, 82% in writing and 76% in reading. The school also performs well at the higher standard, with 27% of pupils reaching that level in reading, 16% in maths and 13% in writing. Nationally, Clifton ranks in the top quarter of all primary schools, which is a solid achievement for a school where 40.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
