Clifton College
From Preschool through to Sixth Form, we pride ourselves on providing an education where character is as important as capability. Through superb teaching and a wealth of academic choices we make certain that every young person is supported, encouraged and driven to achieve their very best.
Outside the classroom, our pupils are truly fortunate to have such a range of opportunities within the co-curriculum from superb sport coaching to an amazing range of clubs and activities. Here they develop as young people and realise lifelong interests and passions.
All of this is underpinned by our pastoral care, rooted in the House system with its determined focus on seeing every young person make the very most of their time at Clifton, growing into kind, empathetic individuals.
We aim to develop open-minded young people with a real understanding of the world around them, fully prepared for their future in a rapidly changing modern world.
Clifton College has a rich and established heritage with the British Armed Forces and is proud to provide support to the families that serve within it. For over 150 years the College has provided a base for the children of serving Forces and Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office personnel.
