Health and wellbeing is our priority
To seize each opportunity

A caring and supportive atmosphere

At Clifton College, we provide a caring and supportive atmosphere, a home-from-home, in which your child is encouraged to seize each opportunity and fulfil their potential.

The health and safety of our children is of paramount importance and staff members undertake regular first aid training.

Nutritious and balanced meals

Our dedicated catering staff work diligently to provide balanced and nutritious meals, accommodating various dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, and allergies.

Children dine in the College dining hall at designated times, selecting from a wide range of healthy options in a supervised setting to promote proper eating habits.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our recent 5* food hygiene award, ensuring the highest standards of food safety and quality.

Our nurturing environment encourages emotional and social development, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

Regular physical education and outdoor play are integral to our curriculum, promoting active lifestyles and physical health.


“At Pre-Prep we want to provide variety and encourage pupils to try to new foods. We link with teachers to help the pupils learn about the field to fork process.”
