INTERNATIONAL PUPILS
Clifton is an English boarding school that values very highly the international dimension and the cosmopolitan atmosphere brought to the school by its
overseas boarders, who represent about 20% of the school.
We welcome girls and boys from over 30 different countries with a wide range of religious and cultural diversity. Our aim is to make sure they are fully
integrated in the life of the school.
We respect and celebrate the customs and practices of all different cultures - for example Chinese New Year is always celebrated by a meal and special menus
in the dining hall, a new Russian Society started in September 2006 and Clifton has a long tradition of providing opportunities for
Jewish pupils to live and worship in the school.
We are happy to deal with enquiries from overseas families either through direct contact or through one of the many agencies we work with overseas, who can
provide help with translation, entry tests and admissions procedures, including visa applications.
A simple '10 Step Guide' to help with applications to Clifton College from overseas is available. As the number of places available each year is limited, we
have to be selective according to the candidate’s general academic level and specifically their ability in English and Mathematics.
For overseas families considering applying to Clifton, please visit the Further Information page where some information about
Guardianship, etc. is available. To request a prospectus please complete our on-line enquiry form.
We also run an Academic Preparation Course in both Easter and Summer. We have also formed a partnership with Manchester United Soccer Schools to provide the
world’s best English language and soccer courses, please visit www.englishandsoccer.co.uk for more information. Finally, Clifton College offers
Residential Sports Courses that are available to International pupils – please visit www.cliftoncollegesportsacademy.co.uk for
further information.
