Clifton Hall School

[EduCativ]

Clifton Hall has existed as an independent school since its inception in 1930. A boys’ prep school was initially founded by Richard Killick and Robert Ainslie, who saw the need for an excellent independent feeder school. The school was built around the belief in high academic standards and high moral standards, focusing on courtesy, self-respect, and character development.
The school continued to flourish, and under the Headship of George Mathewson was rightly perceived as the leading independent prep school in Scotland, if not the UK. Under Mark Adams, the school became fully co-educational, made the transition from Prep School to a Primary school, and opened a Nursery school.
It was a huge privilege to offer all-through education from ages 3 to 18 in 2008, and since then, the school has almost tripled in size. With our unique environment and our policy of limiting the school to only 400 students, we can offer your child quality of education unsurpassed.
So what makes Clifton Hall different from other schools? We treat each pupil as an individual, and we seek to personalize their education so that they can benefit from being allowed to shine. Clifton Hall School will NEVER contain more than 400 pupils in small classes and small year groups. With this structure, we can discover talents, care, and nurture and help develop character and self-belief.
We see the student who is a talented ballet dancer in the same high regard as the student achieving an A at Advanced Higher in English in the same high regard as the junior pupil who has already attained Grade 8 on the violin. Whatever your talent, whatever your ability, we will ensure you have the opportunity to develop in the way which is essential to you. Clifton Hall continues to work hard in all areas of Eco-Schools. Our three main focus areas are litter, Food and the Environment, and Water. Hold n Eco-Schools Green Flag, which is a fantastic honor. We hope to achieve our second Green Flag during this school year.
