If you're a parent considering Clifton With Rawcliffe Primary School, the feedback from other families is a strong place to start.

Behaviour is another standout area — 75% strongly agreed that the school ensures pupils are well behaved, and Ofsted inspectors also rated behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding in their December 2024 inspection.
