The Pre-Prep School

Our spaces

The environment in which children learn is just as important as the lessons themselves. At Clifton College Pre-Prep, we have designed every space to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence - ensuring that every child feels safe, engaged, and excited to learn.

What you can expect

Bright and stimulating classrooms

Our classrooms are designed to encourage active learning and exploration. With vibrant displays and hands-on learning material, each space is carefully curated to support both academic and personal growth. Our creative spaces are bright, and inspiring, where pupils can experiment and grow in confidence.

A dedicated Pre-Prep library

Our library is a place where stories come to life and a love for reading begins. Cosy seating areas invite children to lose themselves in books, while storytelling sessions and quiet reading time foster a lifelong appreciation for literature.

Outdoor learning and play

Children learn best when they have the freedom to explore, and our beautiful outdoor spaces provide the perfect setting. From Forest School to the adventure play areas and our outdoor classroom, our pupils enjoy fresh air, physical activity, and hands-on discovery every day.
