Clifton College

Clifton College is a leading co-educational public boarding school welcoming pupils aged 3-18 from all over the world. We offer day, flexi and full boarding places. We offer the finest all-round education based on the highest academic standards. Our leavers go on to the best universities in the UK.

We are a school with exceptional pastoral care, inspirational teaching, first-class inclusive sport, diverse co-curricular activities and an outstanding environment.

Clifton was founded and led by Dr John Percival, a visionary, intellectual Head Master who believed in science, the education of women and racial tolerance. He was a Victorian ahead of his time; he aimed to produce “children of varied but definite character” and built a school where the teaching, library and chapel were central to our private school.

His curriculum and activities outside the classroom developed young people who were confident without arrogance and had a sense of responsibility towards others; characteristics which remain today.
