The Pre-Prep School

Activities

At Clifton College Pre-Prep, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our range of engaging activities spark curiosity, foster creativity, and enhance children’s social and emotional development. We create a dynamic environment where children are inspired to explore, learn, and follow their own interests.

Forest School

We cultivate a sense of curiosity, adventure and discovery in our dedicated Forest School. In a safe environment, children are allowed to explore their imagination in an outdoor setting, creating magical experiences.

Hands-on learning

Through exploration and discovery, children develop a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

Emotional development

Forest School fosters confidence and resilience. By navigating challenges and working collaboratively with peers, children build essential social skills and a sense of belonging.

Physical wellness

Outdoor activities promote physical health and wellbeing. Through running, building and exploring, children enhance their motor skills and enjoy the benefits of fresh air and active play.

Whether it’s sports, arts, music, or drama, our rich variety of activities gives children the opportunity to try new things, discover their passions, and build confidence.

Wide range of clubs

From sports to creative activities, every child can explore new interests and meet new friends.

Skill development

Activities outside the classroom encourage children to try something new and learn new skills.

Encouraging well-rounded growth

Our goal is to foster not only academic excellence but also emotional and physical wellbeing.
