Introduction

 

Clifton High School is an independent school in Clifton, Bristol. The school is the only one in the region to use the Diamond model, educating boys and girls together from Nursery to Year 6, then separately between Years 7 and 9, before combining again in Year 10.

 

The broad Senior School curriculum comprises biology, chemistry, physics, computing, mathematics, business studies, English, geography, history, MFL, Latin, art & design, design technology, drama & theatre studies, food & nutrition, music, physical education and PSHE.

 

After-class activities take place across over 100 clubs and societies, ranging from young contrarians, astronomy and animation to fencing, swimming and taekwondo.

 

The forward-looking and academically strong ethos is complemented by excellent relationships between staff and pupils, which produce an environment where children can develop happily and progress successfully. The Diamond model enables pupils to achieve their maximum potential in the classroom, preparing them for active roles in life beyond school.

Clifton High School 11 Plus (11+) Admissions

 

11+ registration forms, available on the school’s website, should be submitted by the deadline in December or the year preceding entry. Admission is conditional upon receipt of a copy of a recent current-school report; a formal meeting between you, your child and the Head, including an interview; a confidential reference from their current school and performance in entrance examinations.

 

To accept an offer of a place, you should return the completed acceptance form, pay the £495 deposit and sign the Parent Contract. The acceptance deposit will be retained by the school until your child leaves. It may then be refunded or used to help fund major capital projects and significant educational development, as well as scholarships and bursaries. 

 

Clifton High School 11 Plus (11+) Scholarships and Bursaries

 

Scholarships are offered to selected candidates following the entrance examinations and interview with the Head. At 11+, the school awards Academic, Music and Sports Scholarships, typically ranging from 10% to 30%.

 

Assisted places are offered to pupils who demonstrate strong academic potential in the exam, but whose families are not able to pay full fees. They carry a value of up to 100% of school fees and may also provide help with uniform. 

 

Clifton High School 11 Plus (11+) Exam Format

 

The Clifton High School 11+ entrance examination consists of the following papers:

 

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Verbal Reasoning
  • Non-Verbal Reasoning

 

The English paper examines both comprehension and writing skills, including inference, spelling, vocabulary and punctuation. Marks will be awarded for good use of imagination, creativity, form, purpose, organisation, cohesion and sentence structure.

 

The maths exam assesses your child’s problem-solving abilities and arithmetic skills. The paper may include questions on number, measurement, geometry, algebra and statistics.

 

The Verbal Reasoning paper is primarily designed to test and assess logical thinking, use of English language and vocabulary.

 

The Non-Verbal Reasoning test measures the ability to understand, interpret and problem-solve, assessing logic and intelligence rather than knowledge.
