History

Previously a foundation school, Cliff Park High School was put into special measures in 2012 following an unsatisfactory Ofsted inspection report.[1] The school exited special measures in 2013 and converted to academy status in January 2014, sponsored by the Ormiston Academies Trust.[2] The most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2016 graded the academy as 'Good'.[3]

Academic results

In 2016, the academy's Progress 8 score for GCSE results was 0.37, which is above the average Progress 8 for schools in England. 58% of students achieved grades A*-C / 9–4 in GCSE English and Maths.[4]

Notable former pupils

The classical and pop musician, media personality and model Myleene Klass attended the school in the 1990s before becoming a member of the band Hear'Say.[5]
