Founded in 1862, Clifton College is a co-educational day and boarding school set in the heart of Bristol, delivering a modern education set amongst stunning historic buildings.
From Preschool all the way through to Sixth Form, we pride ourselves on providing an education where character is as important as capability.
Through outstanding pastoral care, superb teaching and extensive co-curricular options we make certain that every young person is supported, encouraged and driven to achieve their very best, wherever their interests may lead them.
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 unique House system, where all day and boarding pupils are part of a House, enabling them to form lifelong friendships across different year groups and building a strong sense of belonging within our community.
Our outstanding pastoral care, rooted in our unique House system has a determined focus on seeing every young person make the very most of their time at Clifton, growing into kind, empathetic individuals.
We understand that every pupil has different abilities, talents and levels of confidence, enabling us to ask each individual to aspire to the highest standards to which they are capable.
We are truly committed to a broad all-round education, our extensive co-curricular programme allows a pupil-led approach to exploring and discovering untapped talents.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Clifton College. It was very informative, and really gave us a very good feel for the atmosphere and ethos of the school. Our student guide was truly excellent, and (our child) was very engaged with him striding ahead of us and asking lots of questions. Of the five schools we visited, Clifton College is unanimously our first choice."
