The top-performing peers locally include St Vincent's Catholic Primary School, Park Road Academy Primary School and Brooklands Primary School, all of which sit above Cloverlea in the rankings. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a non-religious character.
