Welcome to the Old Cliftonian Society

Old Boys and Girls of Clifton College

The Old Cliftonian Society is a very active one, with a small secretariat at the College, 19 branches in the UK and 33 overseas, including Canada, The United States, Australia, Africa and the Far East.

Its aims are threefold: to help members keep in touch with one another; to assist the School; and, in cases of need, to give unobtrusive help to members who experience difficulty in meeting Clifton school fees. All members are invited to regular reunions at the School by age group, and receive a copy of the Society's Annual Report which gives details of the School's activities and news of former pupils.

D-Day run to commemorate the 65th anniversary

A fellow Old Cliftonian, Giles Barnes, together with Colonel Michael McErlain, is organising a 44 mile run along the D-Day beaches of Northern France to commemorate the 65th anniversary, starting at Pointe du Hoc and finishing at Pegasus Bridge. It’s a gruelling, demanding run over rough terrain and the runners do this in recognition of fallen and injured servicemen.

It would mean so much if you were able to support this fantastic event by donating to the British Limbless Ex-Servicemen Association (BLESMA) – all you need to do is log on to www.justgiving.com/d-day44 and giving whatever you feel you can.

Events

We have a number of events throughout the year organised especially for Old Cliftonians. They are displayed on the website as and when they occur.

Out of Touch

Inevitably we lose many Old Cliftonians addresses since they forget to inform the OC Society of their move. If you meet any of your friends whose address does not appear in the current register, please encourage them to inform the OC Society. Please telephone Bradley Clark on 0117 315 7143 or e-mail him at bclark@clifton-college.avon.sch.uk. If you require any further information then please contact Frances Stretton on fstretton@clifton-college.avon.sch.uk. Thank you.

LATEST UPDATE: SCAST press release FINAL embargoed until 1 June 2007.

The recent investigation by the OFT into a number of independent schools (News Release dated 23 November 2006) did not find that the conduct of the schools concerned had had any effect upon fees. Nevertheless an independent Educational Charitable Trust has been set up for the benefit of pupils who attended the schools involved during the relevant years and further details may be found at http://www.scast.org.uk/.
