About

The Pre-Prep School Who we are Join the Pre-Prep School Welcome to Clifton College Pre-Preparatory School. Here in the Pre-Prep we feel very fortunate to be part of an incredible community at Clifton College. We create a foundation for a lifelong love of learning, helping every child grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.

A message from our Heads A message from our Heads Through creative play, hands-on discovery, and engaging challenges, we ensure children feel supported, valued, and inspired to explore their unique potential every day.

We are immensely proud of our young pupils and the responsibility we have to ensure that each child who crosses our threshold at this crucial stage in their education, develops curiosity, courage and kindness. Our provision promises wonder-filled days, packed with learning, and children who feel championed.

To get a sense of why we feel so proud of our part of the Clifton College journey, please do come and see it for yourself. Jim Walton, Head of Preparatory School (Preschool - Year 8)
