Deputy Head Academic
"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Clifton College. It was very informative, and really gave us a very good feel for the atmosphere and ethos of the school. Our student guide was truly excellent, and (our child) was very engaged with him striding ahead of us and asking lots of questions. Of the five schools we visited, Clifton College is unanimously our first choice."
