Clifton High School, College Road, BS8 3JD
0117 973 0201
Clifton High School’s all-through environment paves the way for a seamless transition for pupils moving from our Junior School into the Senior School with a process that requires no additional admissions application. In turn, children are at an advantage as they continue to thrive and flourish in an already familiar setting.

However, entry into our Senior School for any child is one that enables us, as educators, to build upon the foundations that have been established during a child’s primary education. We take pride in realising and leveraging the individual interests and brilliance of all our rising children.
