Clifton College

"At Clifton College, we understand the importance of a consistent and stable education for military families; a Clifton College education offers your children a broad curriculum, outstanding academic and pastoral support, extensive activities outside the classroom and a home away from home, centered around their boarding house. Our unique House system which provides Houses for both day and boarding pupils, offers a nurturing and supportive atmosphere in which your child is encouraged to seize each opportunity and fulfil their potential. Our House staff have many years’ experience of the challenges faced by Forces families, understanding the Emotional Cycle of Deployment for Children and ensuring your child receives individualised care and guidance. As Clifton College is both a day and boarding school, our pupils are present throughout much of the term and our houses are vibrant and busy even at the weekend. We have several exeats during the school year, but there is an option for boarders to stay in their houses, so they can always feel at home. Clifton College is located in the beautiful residential area of Clifton, Bristol, near the vast green space of The Downs and the city’s famous landmark, the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Bristol is the largest city in the South West of the UK, neatly positioned near the M4/M5 intersection with excellent rail links and an international airport. It is the UK’s 10th largest city and has a population of just fewer than half a million.
