Appeal Donors

All your support whether that be through donations, pledges or time are gratefully received. We believe that 'Funding the Future' is a collective endeavour and one that goes far in us offering an outstanding and enriching learning experience for generations to come.

Appeal donors will receive regular communications demonstrating the impact of the gift, be invited to forthcoming special anniversary events and be listed as an Appeal Donor (unless otherwise requested to remain anonymous).


Leave a Legacy

Whether you were a pupil, parent or member of staff, your Clifton High School journey will have been a unique chapter in your life. You may have been the first member of your family to have a connection with the School, or perhaps you were a fourth-generation pupil following in your family’s footsteps.

By remembering Clifton High in your will you can become part of that continuing story. Your gift, whatever its size, can help create opportunities for future pupils and ensure that the values and experiences you cherish today can be shared for generations to come.

Whatever your Clifton High journey, you are part of a very special community, enriched and shaped by generations of pupils, parents and staff from 1877 to today, and beyond.

If you would like further information and to receive a copy of our legacy brochure, please email Mrs Elizabeth Bond, Director of Development, or Ms Jenny Robertson, Development Manager. Alternatively please call us on 0117 933 9081 or complete your details on our Legacy Form.

The Percival Gift Scheme

When Clifton High School opened its doors in 1877, the first pupil on the register was Elizabeth (Bessie) Percival. The School instilled in Bessie a passion for art whereby she became an accomplished artist in oils and water colours, exhibiting many of her works at the Royal Academy. Bessie describes her time at School as a "dream of delight".

Bessie's legacy continues in our Percival Gift Scheme, our regular giving scheme. As a donor you may give monthly, quarterly or annually and through the Government's Gift Aid scheme, donations can be worth so much more, at no extra cost to you and your family.

Volunteer

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 Ms Jenny Robertson 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.
