Clifton Lodge is a Preparatory School that prepares boys and girls for entry into the senior school of their choice; but more than that, the lessons learned while at Clifton Lodge will ensure that your son or daughter is prepared with the skills, good manners and work ethic needed for the rest of their life.

I strongly believe that education is about individuals and Clifton Lodge succeeds because it is small enough to make sure that your child's individual strengths and needs are known by everyone at the school. No pupil is ever lost in the crowd, everyone is valued for who they are and all are expected to participate fully in the academic and extra-curricular life of the school. This small, friendly, inclusive atmosphere ensures that your son or daughter will develop into a confident, mature, well-mannered young adult who reaches his or her full potential.

Clifton Lodge achieves academic success, but this is balanced by the development of the whole pupil into a well rounded individual who can take part in and appreciate music, sport, drama and his place in the wider world.

The school has a Christian ethos but welcomes all pupils of any faith in the belief that we all share common ideals and morals.
