Clifton Preparatory School is the preparatory school for St Peter's School, York. It is situated in a quiet residential area close enough to St Peter's for the children to use appropriate facilities.
Girls and boys enter Clifton Preparatory School when they are three or four years old. They are taught in small classes, by experienced and qualified staff, in attractive surroundings and with excellent resources at their disposal. There can be no better introduction to a school career for a small child.
The curriculum is broad and balanced. Subjects taught are specified in the National Curriculum with the addition of Modern Languages. Reading, writing and number work have highest priority in the early years, ensuring a sound foundation. Information technology is integrated into the curriculum from the beginning and all children learn the skills needed to use computers effectively.
Physical education lessons begin in the Nursery. As the children grow older, games and swimming are added. A wide range of extra-curricular activities is offered and music and drama are an integral part of the school life.
