We are an outstanding, outward-facing school community with many years of educational life and experience behind us, looking forward to the future in all that we do. We believe that education is about the whole child and our ultimate aim is that children leave Clifton ready for the next stage of their education and their lives.

At Clifton, we place as much importance on social and emotional development as we do academic success. We provide a broad, exciting, creative and balanced curriculum that makes learning fun and meaningful and which sets our children up for a successful future. 

In our lovely school, you will find a happy, safe and caring atmosphere where positive attitudes and achievements are celebrated and where children are supported in developing as confident, self-reliant, independent learners who are motivated to fulfil their potential and be the very best that they can be.

We are a learning community which prides itself on being ambitious, resilient and respectful – we value all learners as individuals and see our role as equipping the children in our care with the values and skills they will need in order to become proud citizens of 21st century Britain!

“Our vision is to give children the knowledge, skills and voice to develop their character so that they are able to flourish in the world they live in.”

We want our children to leave us having lived through a positive experience that has inspired in them, a genuine thirst for knowledge and curiosity for the possibilities that sit within the wider world around them.

We believe that our children deserve the very best and want to give them the first hand experiences, and personal attributes and attitudes for them to thrive in all that they do.

Developing the Clifton Character:

We want to ensure that our pupils receive not just the very best learning opportunities but also that they receive the most relevant experiences during their time with us; experiences that live with them forever and shape their characters as they grow.

We have carefully profiled the school community and have consulted with all stakeholders as to what we believe are the most critical attributes and competences that we can develop so that our pupils are prepared for a happy, healthy and fulfilling future.
