Set in the 'handsomest suburb in Europe', Clifton is ideally placed to provide an all-round education in a friendly but disciplined atmosphere. Academic results are excellent in both Arts and Sciences, though there is a particularly strong tradition in mathematics and sciences, and Clifton is unique in having internationally known scientific research projects. Clifton has long combined the best of public-school values with a deliberate fostering of creative thinking and an innovative spirit. There are excellent facilities for music, art, drama and sport, and there is a high level of pastoral care. Since 1987, the school has been co-educational throughout the age-range, and Clifton's large and distinguished preparatory school (also co-educational throughout) provides great flexibility for entry at any age. A pre-prep school opened in September 1992.
