We understand that choosing a school for your child is a big decision, and not knowing what their day will look like can feel daunting. At Clifton College Pre-Prep, every day is thoughtfully structured to balance learning, play, and personal development - ensuring your child feels happy, engaged, and supported from the moment they arrive.
Wraparound care begins at 7.30am, it includes breakfast as well as the opportunity for children to play and relax ahead of the school day.
The school day begins at 8.25am for registration in classes followed by group singing, an assembly, or a guided reading session.
Lessons start at 9am, with games on a Friday for our Year 3s.
A healthy mid-morning snack is provided at 10am, followed by a break for free play and to mix with friends across the Pre-Prep.
Outside the classroom, activities throughout the week include swimming, choir, music lessons and games.
A healthy and varied lunch is provided, where all children and teachers sit together to enjoy their meal.
The Pre-Prep has a wonderful age-specific Library where groups spend an afternoon lesson each week, and can borrow books to read at home.
Children visit our enchanting Forest School weekly, exploring their imaginations in an outdoor setting, expanding on their learning in class and developing team-building skills.
Afternoon lessons range from languages, music, computing, art, science, English, P.E. and much more, allowing children to discover their own interests.
The normal school day finishes at 4pm, with wraparound care available until 6pm where children can stay and play with their friends, join an after school club and have some dinner before home time.
