Cleeve School is a large, oversubscribed foundation school with specialist status as a Technology College, Language College and Leadership Partner School. It was formerly a comprehensive school and is located in the village of Bishop's Cleeve, Gloucestershire, England. Head teacher Alan McConaghie, who will be retiring at the end of the 2008-2009 school year, heads the senior management team at the approximately 1500-pupil school. For each place at the school 30 children apply.
The school supports children from the ages of 11–18, offering GCSEs for ages 11–16, and A-Levels/BTECs for students wishing to go to the sixth form (ages 16–18).
Cleeve School was the first secondary school in the South West to achieve the National Association for Able Children in Education (NACE) Challenge Award for excellent provision for able, gifted and talented pupils.[1]

The school runs many activities for the students including self-defence lessons and afterschool clubs such as football, rugby and cricket. The school's astronomy club recently acquired a refractive telescope which was donated by the Society for Popular Astronomy as part of the Telescopes For Schools project.
Every summer, the school has a 'Sports Day' for each of the five houses - Mendip, Malvern, Brecon, Chiltern and Cotswold. The day includes multiple athletic events including running and most field sports.
Construction of the new building for the science, IT and music departments was completed in 2008. The old science block has also been restored and now replaces the history terrapins and turtles.
There has been some controversy over the change of the school logo during the change over to Academy status, under Rob Broadbridge's Headship, from a Mitre to a modern equivalent introduced in the start of the 2011/2012 year. Many locals felt that the removal of the Mitre removed all traditional values and separated it from the villages image. The Mitre is a symbol used throughout the village.
