About Thomas Clarkson Academy

Thomas Clarkson Academy has turned a corner. Its most recent graded inspection, in early 2020, awarded an overall rating of Good, a clear step up from the Requires Improvement it had received in 2017. That Good rating was confirmed as being maintained in an ungraded inspection in early 2025, with every assessed category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision — all rated Good. The school’s Progress 8 score for the 2023/24 academic year sits at -0.23, which is below the national average and places it in the bottom 50 of schools nationally. However, context matters: the local authority average Progress 8 score for Cambridgeshire is 0.17, so the academy is performing below the typical school in its area. Within the Fenland local authority area specifically, it ranks first out of four schools on this measure, though it sits 27th out of 39 secondary schools across the wider Cambridgeshire authority.
