Cleve House School
Bristol, Bristol, South West · BS4 2PN
Cleve House is a small independent school in Bristol, taking children from age two through to eleven, with around 82 on roll. Its intimate scale means pupils are well known to staff, and the Independent Schools Inspectorate rated personal development as excellent at its most recent inspection. The overall ISI judgement was good, though it is worth noting that the inspection found one or more compliance standards were not met, which prospective families may wish to discuss directly with the school. Led by Head Mrs Clare Fraser, the school supports a notably high proportion of pupils with special educational needs.
