The Clifton College Development Trust hold a number of events across the year to raise funds, share experiences and discuss all matters Clifton. For more information, contact us at development@cliftoncollege.com

Percival Dinner

The Percival Dinner is Clifton’s ‘blue riband fundraising event.’ OCs, parents and their guests attend this black tie event, with the purpose of raising funds for bursary support for talented pupils.This biennial event attracts an audience from across the Clifton community including young and senior OCs, staff and parents.

Clifton Breakfast Club

These informal breakfasts are held in the Cricket Pavilion once a month (during term time), usually on the first Thursday of each month, at 7:45am.

The breakfasts have increased in popularity and it has been particularly pleasing to welcome new parents.

Attendees enjoy a full English breakfast, with relaxed discussion opportunities and the chance to ask questions about the School and OC activities.

Attendees also have the opportunity to give a brief talk on their professional/School experiences. This year, guest speakers have talked on a variety of subjects, including ‘Refurbishing Old Properties,’ ‘Gluten and Mental Health’ and ‘Facebook and your Privacy.’

Parents (past and present) and Bristol based OCs are all welcome, so to join please contact Jeremy Pickles (jpickles@cliftoncollege.com) for information about future dates.

School House Jamboree

The Cliftonian Society held the School House Jamboree, a unique fundraising reunion in School House.

The black tie event was a huge success; reuniting School House OCs and former House Masters, whilst raising funds for the refurbishment of the House. To view photographs of the evening.

The evening started with a drinks reception in the House Hall, followed by an exceptional dinner provided by the School Caterers, in Big School. Guests were the first cohort of Old Cliftonians to experience the newly refurbished BSK.

Following the School House ‘Heads and Tails’ Quiz, dinner, speeches and School Song, guests returned to the House Hall for further drinks where there was a fantastic display of photos and memorabilia, prepared by the College’s archivist, Dr Charles Knighton.

Guests were also given the opportunity of Bed and Breakfast in the dormitories overlooking the Close!
