Wrap around care until 6:00pm every day at Clifton College Preparatory School
The school day starts at 8:30am with assembly. Day Houses open from 8:00am, but parents may drop their child at school to join the boarders for breakfast at no extra charge. For those looking to utilise this option, children should be dropped at Hartnell’s House to register at 7:05am before the pupils all go to breakfast together at 7:10am. Parents should consult their Houseparents for futher details.
Lessons usually finish at 4:00pm except on some games days, after which, day pupils can be collected from House, can do supervised prep or take part in a wide range of activities and clubs with their friends and enjoy a light tea, all as part of the inclusive wrap around care provided. Parents can collect children any time up to 6:00pm and can inform their Houseparent of their plans in the morning at drop off.
At Clifton College Preparatory School we understand that our families lead busy lives, that’s why we offer flexible wrap around care as part of the school day. In addition, day pupils may board occasionally, and the school’s flexible approach to this not only meets the needs of increasingly busy parents but also helps to enhance the 24-hour care ethos in which we all take pride.
Holiday care
Holiday courses are run at an additional cost by Clifton College Services Ltd.
We are delighted to offer an extensive programme of exciting, challenging and fun courses, providing a chance to try something new or enjoy a regular favourite.
For 5–7-year-olds, we generally offer half-day ‘taster’ courses in the main holidays, to give younger children an introduction to the focus of individual activities.
For 8–13-year-old children, we offer a wide range of activity courses. Grouped under headings of Adventure, Creative and Sport, each holiday offers a differing range of opportunities, all led by professional tutors, coaches and instructors.
