A community for life

The Old Cliftonian Society is a vibrant community of former pupils united by shared experiences, lifelong friendships, and a deep connection to the College’s heritage. 

Whether you left recently or decades ago, the Society is designed to celebrate your journey, keep you connected, and provide opportunities to engage with fellow Old Cliftonians across the globe. 

There are a number of ways that you can re-engage with the College after you’ve left. We organise a number of events including dinners and reunions every year, you can also contact our team to arrange a tour of College.

Join us at our next event

Every year, I find myself inspired and motivated when I see the enduring connection OCs feel to the College, whether they left last year or decades ago, being an OC is an important aspect to all former pupils' sense of self. The alumni community is more than just a way of staying in touch; it’s about celebrating shared history, supporting one another, and continuing the legacy of excellence that defines Clifton.

Visit the College

Old Cliftonians are always welcome to visit the College and relive the memories they forged here. However, please note that, like all schools, the site is not open access and some times of day may not be suitable for visits. If you’d like to arrange a visit, please get in touch to make arrangements.

Support us

Many Old Cliftonians feel a lasting connection to the College and often ask how they can give back. Whether it's supporting bursaries, enhancing facilities, or contributing to new initiatives, donations from our alumni play a vital role in shaping the future of Clifton. Every gift, no matter the size, helps ensure that current and future pupils benefit from the same rich and inspiring experience that defines a Clifton education.

Mentoring

Our alumni community holds a wealth of experience across industries, sectors, and creative fields. By sharing your insights and guidance, you can help current pupils explore career paths, build confidence, and take their first steps into the professional world. Whether it's a conversation, a workplace visit, or ongoing mentorship, your support can make a lasting impact.
