"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

While I appreciate the school's efforts to promote reading and well-being, I've been disappointed with the lack of communication about my child's progress. The facilities are nice, and the staff are mostly friendly, but I've had to chase up issues a few times. With a bit more attention to details, this could be an excellent school.

"A lovely school with a great community"

I've been impressed with the school's focus on mental health and well-being, and my child loves the after-school clubs. The staff are friendly and supportive, and the school's values of love and kindness are evident everywhere. We feel lucky to be part of the Clifton-upon-Dunsmore community.

"A fantastic school that truly cares"

We moved away from the area, but I still miss Clifton-upon-Dunsmore. The school's commitment to its values and its students is unmatched, and my children loved the sense of belonging they felt there. If we were still in the area, we would definitely be sending our younger children there.
