School Performance

At Richard Clarke First School we are continually striving for excellence and we carefully track individual pupil progress.  Academic data is important and Richard Clarke performs well against national averages.  However, we do believe that this data, doesn’t give you the whole picture of how much progress our children make at RCFS, as we look at progress in many ways.  Nonetheless, here is our headline data:

The Richard Clarke First School – GOV.UK (get-information-schools.service.gov.uk)

Early Years – % of pupils attaining a ‘Good Level of Development’-
