• Clifton presents its offer as education for life in a rapidly changing modern world.
• The school combines historic setting, breadth of opportunity and strong boarding/day flexibility.

• Parents are drawn by the scale of opportunity without wanting the school to be impersonal.
• The mix of day pupils and boarders, plus the breadth of sport and arts, gives the school a distinctly full and busy feel.
• Current parent voices also point to confidence-building and strong support within houses and friendship groups.

Clifton runs separate admissions routes for pre-prep, prep and upper school, with day and boarding entry points across the age range.

Clifton publishes scholarships across academic, art, design technology, drama, music, performing arts and sport, with means-tested bursaries linked to scholarship success.

• Bursaries run alongside scholarship entry routes in the Prep and Upper School admissions process.
• No public percentage tariff is published.
• The bursary process is means tested and administered confidentially by Bursary Assessment Associates. Families are asked to contact Admissions for eligibility and process guidance.

Clifton's inspection information is current enough to be useful, with an ISI routine inspection in October 2023 following a material-change inspection in November 2022. For a large day-and-boarding school, that recent regulatory trail gives families something firmer than reputation and beautiful buildings alone.
