Welcome to Clifton-upon-Dunsmore Church of England Primary School, which has been on this site since 1850. Our aim is for all children to develop their talents, reach their full potential and be happy during their time with us. Our distinctive Christian ethos permeates through our whole school community enabling each child to grow in the love of God and one another.
"Love the Lord your God with all of our heart, soul, strength and mind and love your neighbour as yourself." Luke 10 v 27. We want our children to feel safe, secure and enjoy learning so we plan our learning to be exciting and interesting enabling each child to succeed.
We celebrate each child's successes and encourage the development of their confidence and self-esteem, so that on leaving our school they are well prepared to face the challenges ahead and hopefully, carry with them very fond memories of Clifton upon Dunsmore Primary School.
