Clifton High School's Senior Adventure Programme reaches towards the mindset of an adolescent, encouraging an adventurous spirit that cannot be realised in the traditional classroom setting. Pupils have fun exploring activities that build camaraderie, team bonding and an appreciation for the natural world. We continually expand the opportunities available to pupils with challenges to develop environmental awareness, survival skills, self-confidence and resilience. Our affiliations with Mendip Activity Centre and Mothership Climbing Centre enable pupils to participate in adventurous pursuits with safety at the core of learning.
