About Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff

Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff is a primary school in Stoke-on-Trent that clearly inspires loyalty among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 53 applications for 42 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.26 applicants per place. Of those, 40 families put it down as their first preference, and all 40 were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests parents who know the school rate it highly, even though the school’s overall Ofsted rating is Requires Improvement. The most recent graded inspection, in November 2023, gave Good marks for early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. So the picture is more nuanced than the headline grade suggests — the school has clear strengths in the areas that matter most to parents day to day.
