Health and food

At Clifton College Prep School, we prioritise the health and wellbeing of our pupils, ensuring they thrive in a safe and nurturing environment. Our dedicated pastoral team provides exceptional care, and our in-house catering service offers nutritious meals to support your child's growth and development.

Health and wellbeing is our priority
We adopt a holistic approach

On-site care

Each of our Houses has a qualified matron, who is present during the school day to support and advise on the care and welfare of our children.

All staff members undergo regular first aid training to handle minor ailments and ensure immediate attention to your child's needs.

For more serious concerns, our fully equipped Health Centre, known as 'The San,' is staffed by experienced medical professionals ready to provide comprehensive care.

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 halls 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 5* food hygiene award, ensuring the highest standards of food safety and quality.

A holistic approach to wellbeing

Beyond physical health and nutrition, we emphasise the overall wellbeing of our pupils:

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.
