- Pupils with SEND do not receive tailored support and cannot access the curriculum fully
- Quality of early years provision is inconsistent and lacks ambitious learning activities

Extracurricular Activities

The Clinton Church of England Primary School is a welcoming, calm school where pupils feel safe, but it is not providing an acceptable standard of education. School and trust leaders have failed to arrest the decline in pupil achievement, and teaching does not ensure pupils build knowledge sufficiently well over time.
