AIMS
Clifton High School aims to realise the ‘Individual Brilliance’ of every pupil. We believe that the most authentic way to achieve this is by offering a well-rounded, bespoke education, delivered by staff who grow to recognise each child’s gifts to offer them unique opportunities to shine.
ETHOS
At Clifton High School, we believe in the worth of a holistic education, encouraging all pupils to enjoy learning in an environment that supports them as individuals and nurtures their ‘brilliance’. As pupils become passionate in their interests, learning to deal with both success and defeat, the full potential of their academic, emotional and personal growth is realised. They are allowed to reach milestones as well as set personal standards with confidence, as they work towards and embark upon successful and self-fulfilled futures.
As a School, we place emphasis on creating a safe and nurturing culture strengthened by a united community that openly recognises and applauds our differences, whether it be in gender, age, race, colour, nationality, ethnicity, disability, religion or culture.
VALUES
- CURIOSITY
We educate our young people to be informed, inquisitive individuals with the ability and knowledge to use the art of questioning to explore the development of new, independent ideas. This, in turn, instils in them confidence and a lifelong love of learning. - EMPATHY
The consideration of alternative perspectives is something we encourage in our pupils. It enables them to go out in the world with a desire to make positive change, through kindness, respect and understanding. - LOVE
Relationships are enhanced when the value of love, for oneself and others, is achieved. This is something we encourage in all pupils, alongside a love of the planet we live on, the natural world around us and a passion for preserving it. - DIRECTION
We constantly support pupils to strive for ambition through a commitment and dedication to achieve personal goals that provide individual and personal direction, give purpose and drive motivation.
OUR STRATEGY
At Clifton High School, we have identified six key areas that form the basis of our future. As an ambitious and forward-thinking community, we are building on what are already strong and well-established foundations, while looking ahead to ensure our provision continues to evolve for 21st-century learners. Rooted in our values of curiosity, empathy, love and direction, our strategy reflects who we are and where we are heading.
