Clifton College Education Group announcement

Dr Tim Greene, Head of Clifton College and Mr Stephen Symonds, Head of Tockington Manor School

We are delighted to announce that Tockington Manor School will be joining the Clifton College Education Group.

The welcoming of Tockington Manor School as part of the Clifton College Education Group is a significant milestone for the continued success of both highly respected and successful educational establishments. Whilst the individuality of the schools will continue to be celebrated, our coming together brings strength, stability and opportunity.

Clifton and Tockington have been linked for generations: as Bristol based schools; as match day opponents; as a Senior School destination; as classroom pen pals; as charity fundraisers; as supporters of the Arts; and in our shared approach to the educational and pastoral care of our pupils.

This is the next step in a shared mission to provide an outstanding education to our pupils; support them to develop their talents; provide extracurricular opportunities so they can make the most of every moment; and prepare every pupil for the rapidly changing modern world.

The journey to this announcement began in 2021 where we both recognised the tremendous opportunities for Clifton and Tockington to mutually benefit from the expertise, facilities and support brought by both schools. Many discussions have taken place since those early days and we are very grateful for all the hard work that has gone on behind the scenes to get us to this point.  

We are both delighted that we can share this announcement with you and look forward to your joining us on this journey together.
