About North Clifton Primary School

North Clifton Primary School received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2023, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held previously. The inspection report noted that while the quality of education and leadership and management both require improvement, behaviour and attitudes and personal development were rated Good. With just 23 pupils on roll against a capacity of 56, this is a very small village primary school in the Newark and Sherwood area of Nottinghamshire. The school does not have published Key Stage 2 SATs results in the available data, so the most informative academic metric is the Ofsted breakdown itself, which points to a school where pastoral strengths are clear but academic delivery needs work.
