Free Early Education Entitlement 

The School participates in the Government’s Early Education Entitlement scheme. The universal fifteen free hours entitlement is accessible from the term after a child’s third birthday and finishes the term of the child’s fifth birthday.  Eligibility and other terms and conditions apply.  The School does not offer the fifteen extended hours. 

Additional Days In The Hive Pre-School

Additional Days - £90

Parents of children enrolled in The Hive for less than 5 days a week may request additional ad-hoc days, which will be charged at the above rate. However, where the child is enrolled on a term-time-only basis, parents are only able to book additional days during term time. Additional days are subject to capacity and must be requested at least two weeks in advance to avoid disappointment.

All current families are encouraged to support The Clifton High School Foundation by donating annually £18.77 per family to the Percival Gift Scheme. The Clifton High School Foundation supports the School by way of grants for bursaries and capital projects. The donation will be added to your Spring Term bill.

The School is committed to supporting families who, solely for financial reasons, are unable for their child to benefit from a Clifton High School education. We provide help with School fees for pupils in Year 7 onwards with an available range of financial assistance options which may extend to 100% of the Senior School fee. 

Additional financial support for families includes funding items such as uniforms, trips and the loan of equipment. The School aims to ensure that every pupil has the necessary support to realise their individual brilliance, enabling bursary pupils to access additional tutor support, should they require it. We aim to provide pupils with the essential tools they need to reach their highest potential. 

Eligibility for bursary awards is considered on a means-tested basis, with assessment considering a range of information, including income and the value of capital assets. The number and size of bursaries awarded on an annual basis are limited by the School's funds available, as well as being dependent upon variable circumstances, including the volume of applications.  

How to apply 

For those considering joining the School, the window for applying for financial assistance is in the Autumn Term (September to December), before the entrance assessments that take place early in the Spring Term (January). 

We invite those families who may require financial assistance to contact the Admissions Team via email: admissions@cliftonhigh.co.uk for advice on the School’s online application process and guidance on the next steps. The School uses a third-party organisation to assist with the means-testing. 

Funding 

The School is committed to increasing the financial support available to families, yet its ability to award bursaries is limited by available funds and dependent upon a combination of the School’s own reserves, grants from our independent charity, The Clifton High School Foundation and grants from third-party charitable organisations.

For those families interested in discovering how they are able to contribute to our efforts in offering financial assistance, they should contact the Development Office via email: development@cliftonhigh.co.uk or go to The Clifton High School Foundation website.
