Ofsted judgement
St. Clement's CofE Primary School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in April 2023, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Eastchurch Church of England Primary School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Eastchurch Church of England Primary School
