About Clifton-upon-Dunsmore CofE Primary School

Clifton-upon-Dunsmore CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in the Warwickshire local authority, serving 224 pupils aged 4 to 11 in the Rugby area. It ranks 5th out of 28 primary schools within Rugby itself, placing it in the top 25% of its immediate local tier. The top-performing peers in the wider Warwickshire primary landscape include Mappleborough Green CofE Primary School and St Mary's Catholic Primary School, both with a ranking score of 100, and Barford St Peter's CofE Primary School at 93. While the school's overall Ofsted rating is Good following its most recent inspection in February 2025, the picture is mixed: behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and quality of education were all judged Good, but leadership and management was rated Requires improvement, and early years provision was also Requires improvement. This marks a notable change from its previous inspection in 2015, when the school was rated Outstanding across all areas.
