Welcome to Clifton Lodge School
Everything we do is centred on helping every child fulfil their potential and become the very best version of themselves.
At Clifton Lodge, we are proud to be a small, nurturing prep school in Ealing for children aged 4 to 11. We describe ourselves as small with intention, as our size is one of our greatest strengths. It enables us to provide a warm, supportive environment where every child feels known, valued and secure. Combined with our strong Christian ethos, this creates the foundations for positive wellbeing, confidence and a lifelong love of learning, empowering pupils to thrive both personally and academically.
Our dedicated team of staff is committed to understanding and supporting each child as an individual. Through high-quality teaching, personalised attention and a genuine passion for education, they work tirelessly to ensure every pupil is challenged, encouraged and given the opportunity to succeed.

FACILITIES & LOCATION
Facilities That Enrich Every Child's Education
Clifton Lodge is situated in a charming double-fronted Victorian building in the heart of Ealing, just a ten-minute walk from Ealing Broadway Station, providing excellent transport links via the Elizabeth, Central and District lines. Convenient pay-and-display parking is also available directly opposite the school.
Our setting combines character and tradition with facilities designed to enrich and enhance the learning experience. Pupils benefit from bright, well-equipped classrooms and a range of specialist learning spaces, including an Immersive Learning Room, STEM Lab, Science Laboratory, Art Studio and dedicated Forest School area.
Outside the classroom, our spacious playground features a covered area that provides valuable space for play, physical education, assemblies and school events throughout the year. We are also fortunate to be located opposite Walpole Park, which is regularly incorporated into our curriculum to support outdoor learning, exploration and wellbeing.
Main changes: I streamlined the wording, strengthened the flow between location and facilities, removed repetition, and adopted a more professional admissions-style tone that highlights both the school's character and educational environment.

We are delighted to share that some of our Year 5 and 6 pupils attended the Authors Abroad – A.I.M. High Writing Day, delivered by the fantastic poet Kimba.
The children explored creative ideas, figures of speech and exciting writing techniques before developing and sharing their own poetry. Through peer feedback, editing and collaboration, they will work to Achieve, Inspire and Master their writing!

✨Learning Through Exploration ✨
Creativity took centre stage in Drama!
Our Drama lesson was just as creative as it was fun. The children made the most of our brand new STEAM Room and green screen set-up, designing and creating their very own puppets before bringing them to life in a fantastic puppet show on our curtain stage.
From planning and making to performing and storytelling, it was wonderful to see our children combining learning, creativity, teamwork and imagination. Experiences like these help build confidence, communication skills and a love of learning across the school. 🎭🌟
We have some budding film makers for you @ealingstudios! 🎥🎬🍿

✨Achieving Your Personal Best ✨
LAMDA SUCCESS AT CLIFTON LODGE
"We are delighted to celebrate the fantastic achievements of our LAMDA students at the end of the summer term.
All of our students worked exceptionally hard, showing great commitment, enthusiasm and dedication throughout the year. We are incredibly proud that so many students achieved high grades in their LAMDA examinations and produced some truly outstanding performances.
LAMDA is about much more than achieving an exam grade. It helps students to develop confidence in public speaking and communicating with others, as well as concentration, creativity and presentation skills. It encourages students to express themselves clearly, perform in front of an audience and develop resilience and a real sense of achievement.
Congratulations to all our LAMDA students on their wonderful results. You should all be extremely proud of what you have achieved!"

Learning, teamwork and adventure all in one session!
Our Year 4 children have been making the most of our new Immersion Room, putting their times tables knowledge to the test through an exciting interactive game. Working together, they raced against time to stop a tornado from wiping out a research station, all while showcasing their multiplication skills!
Installed over the summer holidays, the Immersion Room is already transforming learning experiences, bringing lessons to life in engaging and memorable ways. We can`t wait to see where their next adventure takes them.
