History

Previously a foundation school, Cliff Park High School was put into special measures in 2012 following an unsatisfactory Ofsted inspection report. The school exited special measures in 2013 and converted to academy status in January 2014, sponsored by the Ormiston Academies Trust. The most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2022, graded the academy as 'Requires Improvement'. Previously, it had received a judgment of 'Good'.
