SIXTH FORM FACILITIES

A dedicated Sixth Form Centre that is distinctive in its approach to meeting the evolving needs of adolescents.

Facilities

Clifton High School is set within the heart of Bristol's suburb Clifton Village.

In harmony with our surroundings, Clifton High is a School boasting handsome Victorian buildings with a rich and traditional history. The Walters Sixth Form Centre, a modern structure designed with complimentary architecture, sits alongside the main School and was built to meet the evolving needs of adolescents.

The Walters Sixth Form Centre, named after our Head of School (1985-1995) Mrs Joyce Walters is a space in which students genuinely feel at home, supported by staff and peers in an environment that befits their developing maturity as they strive for independence. Opened in 2023, it accommodates multiple tutor rooms and quiet workspaces for A level study whilst also offering an in-house café, student kitchen and a light and open common room in which to socialise. Sixth Form students continue to benefit from the use of all other School facilities, where many of their A level classes will take place, including modern and spacious classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art educational resources and technology.

Conveniently located at 2 Clifton Park, students enter onto the Clifton High campus through their own private entrance to arrive into a welcoming hub that builds upon their growing maturity and, in addition, they are afforded the privilege of accessing Clifton Village during break times.

The School is committed to continually refurbishing and adding to our facilities to offer more opportunities and the best setting for our students.

Whilst we recognise the need for our Sixth Form students to have their own independent space, as a through School it is important that students also integrate and feel a part of the community and the wider School. Sharing facilities with younger children and pupils, as well as all being on one site as them is an integral part of this.
