Become a Foundation volunteer

Our alumni community, the Clifton Rosarians and parents of current and former pupils support the School by donating their time through careers advice and mentoring. We encourage and welcome Clifton Rosarians and parents to talk to our pupils about life after School; University courses, apprenticeships and careers.

We offer a variety of opportunities to support our current pupils:

• Sixth Form Breakfasts - termly breakfast seminars held from 9.00 to 10.30am in the School Hall for our Sixth Form students. Three speakers talk about life outside our School gates with a Q&A session between our guests and approximately 100-120 Year 12 and Year 13 students.
• Excelsior Forms - weekly events are held for our most able Senior School learners from Years 7-13. They typically take the form of lectures or workshops where pupils learn about topics beyond the academic curriculum. The aim is for pupils to be stretched and challenged in subjects that may benefit their future. 

  We typically endeavour to host an Excelsior Forum per subject, per year, offering a wide range of content and forums that fall outside of typical School academic disciplines. Each week we will see 80+ pupils attend each Forum which are held in our Rose Theatre or Main Hall.

• Careers mentoring or internships - in an ever-increasing competitive marketplace, we welcome support from Clifton Rosarians and parents to help our pupils gain valuable experience in the workplace.

Should you have any questions about becoming a Foundation volunteer and can offer help or support for the next generation of students please contact Mrs Kate McKee or telephone the Foundation team on 0117 933 9081.

Please note that we take the safeguarding of our pupils seriously. As such, we follow national safeguarding guidelines which requires additional checks for all volunteers.
