FACILITIES
A warm & welcoming school
Our school is based in an extended double-fronted Victorian house in the heart of Ealing, opposite Walpole Park. We benefit from a large playground with an all-weather canopy as well as our newly opened Forest School.
Additional facilities available for all of our students to experience are an innovative Immersive Learning Room, Science Lab, STEM Lab and Art Studio.
Facilities at-a-glance:
Bringing Learning to Life
Our fantastic immersive room brings learning to life in extraordinary ways, and we are proud to be the only school locally to offer this facility. From walking alongside dinosaurs and exploring marine life beneath the waves, to stepping inside the Colosseum in Ancient Rome, pupils are transported into different worlds, surrounded by the sights and sounds projected across the walls.
The room provides an exciting introduction to our foundation subjects, where each half-term topic begins with a thought-provoking ‘Big Question’, such as ‘Were the Vikings all bad?’ or ‘Was life in medieval England good?’ This initial immersive experience sparks curiosity and inspires pupils to investigate, question and explore.
The immersive room also enhances learning across the wider curriculum. Pupils can take part in interactive Maths games- moving around the room to identify the correct fractions, or practise everyday conversations through virtual shop scenarios - particularly valuable for children learning English as an additional language.
Bringing the outdoors in — and learning outdoors
With beautiful Walpole Park just across the road, our pupils are fortunate to have green space on their doorstep.
However, we are equally delighted to have our very own forest school area within the school playground, making outdoor learning accessible whenever inspiration strikes. Children love taking shelter under the wooden canopy, exploring the bug hotel and creating imaginative feasts in the mud kitchen. The space is equally valuable for older pupils, who gather on logs around the fire pit to enjoy reading, reflect together and take part in circle-time discussions. It is a wonderful environment for nurturing curiosity, wellbeing and a connection with the natural world.
Inspiring the innovators of tomorrow
At Clifton Lodge School, we believe the best learning happens when curiosity meets creativity. Our new STEM lab offers pupils exciting, hands-on opportunities to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics through experimentation, design and innovation (in addition to their timetabled Art lessons).
From using a 3D printer to bring their ideas to life, to creating videos and exploring digital storytelling with a green screen, pupils develop critical thinking, creative problem-solving and digital skills. These experiences encourage children to think independently, collaborate with others and learn through experimentation, building the confidence, resilience and creativity they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
