Clifton College is opening its doors to prospective pupils and parents during its Open Days in September and October.

Visitors are invited to get a taste of life at the school, which has been a key part of Bristol schooling since 1862.

There are three different Open Days: the Preparatory Open Day on Saturday 24th September, where parents can learn about the outstanding opportunities offered to 2 – 13 year olds, the Upper School Open Day on Saturday 8th October and the Sixth Form Open Day on Wednesday 5th October.

All Open Days include a welcome from the Headmaster and then allow visitors to see Clifton’s outstanding facilities for themselves.

The school combines tradition with modernity across its site, where the Grade II listed Percival Library, with its 15,000 books, and the picturesque Chapel display Clifton’s rich heritage, while the Redgrave Theatre (named after former Clifton pupil Sir Michael Redgrave) and state-of-the-art music and sporting facilities demonstrate Clifton’s credentials as a very 21st century school.

Parents will also tour the pastoral facilities, discovering where boarders live outside of school hours, and find out more about Clifton College’s unique House system, which delivers leading levels of spiritual and social guidance.
