“High Clarence Academy is a small school where pupils have big dreams and aspirations for their futures.”
“Inspired by visitors to the school, pupils recognise the value of hard work and perseverance in achieving their goals.”
“They feel well supported by their teachers, who challenge them to do their best.”

“However, pupils’ understanding of different faiths and beliefs in modern Britain, including different places of worship in the UK, is not as secure as it could be.”
“Pupils' attainment in writing by the end of key stage 2 has not been as closely aligned to their achievement in other curriculum areas, in the past.”
“However, some younger pupils do not make as rapid an improvement in their handwriting as they could.”
