Discover the areas of our School

As a 3-18 through school, we are one School community.

Every department, area and year group at Clifton High School has a unique and bespoke offering. Learning and teaching, social and personal opportunities, and pastoral support are adapted to suit the different ages and personalities. Discover more below. 

The Hive

Nursery Pre-School

The Hive offers a year-round or term-time only Nursery Pre-School provision for rising 3's. Children can stay for an academic day or a longer day; 8.00am-6.00pm. With all their meals included and an educational focus throughout the year, The Hive is much more than nursery care.

Infant School

Reception - Year 2

In Reception to Year 2, a strong emphasis is placed on learning through exploration, investigation, discovery and problem solving.  Social development is encouraged through outstanding teaching and free-play activities. This is embedded throughout the curriculum as the children begin their academic careers.

Junior School

Year 3 - 6

The Junior School is where the expectation on academic and personal development increases and the children, supported by their teachers, discover their individual brilliance. Specialist teachers are provided in many of their subjects,  preparing and equipping them with the skills they need for the transition into Senior School.

Senior School

Year 7 - 9, Diamond Edge Years

During this fundamental time for personal development, teaching and learning is adapted to suit individuals.  Following the Diamond Edge Model of education, girls and boys are taught separately in core subjects.  They then come together again in all other subjects, to balance and benefit their different ways of learning. It is the best of both worlds: a single-sex and co-educational learning environment, all under one roof.

Senior School

Year 10 - 11, GCSE Years

In Year 10-11, girls and boys come back together and learn collectively, working collaboratively towards their GCSE Examinations. Pupils establish greater personal responsibility, both academically and socially, with the support and guidance of their tutors, subject teachers and the whole School community.

Sixth Form

Year 12 - 13

Students develop more independent methods of study as they advance through their A level years, methods that will prepare them for University and life beyond Clifton High. Supported by the School, these young adults leave with a host of skills and social competencies that will serve them well in the future; professionally and personally.
