Discover Clifton College

We can’t wait to show you all that Clifton College can offer you and your child!

Founded in 1862, Clifton College is a co-educational day and boarding school set in the heart of Bristol, delivering a modern education set amongst stunning historic buildings.

From Preschool all the way through to Sixth Form, we pride ourselves on providing an education where character is as important as capability.

Through outstanding pastoral care, superb teaching and extensive co-curricular options we make certain that every young person is supported, encouraged and driven to achieve their very best, wherever their interests may lead them.

We aim to develop open-minded young people with a real understanding of the world around them, fully prepared for their future in a rapidly changing modern world.

Clifton College has a unique House system, where all day and boarding pupils are part of a house, enabling them to form lifelong friendships across different year groups.
