The section of the report entitled 'Evaluation of the School', which is quoted below, is an excellent summary of the essence of a Clifton Lodge education:

 'Evaluation of the school

Clifton Lodge is a good school that cares well for pupils, with a deserved reputation for academic achievement. Pupils enjoy attending school and are positive about their school and their education. Teaching across the school is predominantly good. The size of the school and classes allows staff to get to know their pupils well and these positive relationships help to engender mutual respect and result in good levels of care.'

These are qualities which I am sure attracted you to bring your sons to Clifton Lodge and which I am committed to retaining and enhancing in the new academic year.

The other sections of the report, as do all Ofsted reports, contains a number of suggestions, some of which are administrative, as to where the school could do even better; these items have already been addressed.
