Welcome to Clifton Hill School
Welcome to Clifton Hill School. We are a Special School for children and young people aged 11-19 with severe and profound multiple learning difficulties. Many of our students have additional diagnoses and complex needs.
As a secondary school we recognise that our students start their journey with us as children and that it is our responsibility to support them during their time at Clifton Hill to grow and develop into the happy, confident and ambitious adults that they will be for the rest of their lives.
Independence and preparation for adulthood is at the heart of everything we do and we work hard to ensure that our students are well prepared for their lives after education. Our curriculum and the work we do is built around the key intention of keeping our students’ worlds wide. We do this by providing high quality education, a key focus on developing communication skills and community based learning.
Thank you for visiting our website. We also have a YouTube Channel with learning activities including stories, interactive music and attention autism activities for your child to enjoy. If you would like to arrange a visit and tour with me please contact our school office on 01883 347740 or email info@clifton-hill.surrey.sch.uk and I would be delighted to show you around our beautiful school.
On 1st November 2024 we joined Weydon Multi Academy Trust (WMAT). Joining WMAT will be an exciting new chapter for Clifton Hill School. We both share a vision of being stronger together and transforming lives, which aligns perfectly with Clifton Hill School’s commitment to providing exceptional education and support to all students. This partnership will undoubtedly enhance the educational experience and opportunities for students, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive. Together, we can achieve great things and make a significant impact on the lives of our students and their families. Please follow the link to find out more about WMAT’s Vision and Values.

Enrichment Activities
Show all activitiesStudents have taken part in a number of dance activities both externally and in school. These have included taking part in the SSSSA creative dance day and hosting a visiting dance teacher from synergy dance who has delivered excellent lessons for some of our upper school students. For the last 5 years students have taken part in the Shakespeare for schools festival and have had enormous success with this. Students from across the school have taken part and been involved in plays adapted to be fully accessible, such as Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. We also put on a whole school show every 2 years that is written to accommodate every single student in the school. This gives our young people a chance to really shine and develop many skills such as confidence, team work and communication.
All students have access to our regular residential trips which we have run for many years. Residential visits have so many benefits for our students such as teaching life skills, developing team work, communication skills, improving independence and self- confidence. Learning outside the classroom always adds value to each individual’s academic and personal development. Residential destinations have included Hindleap Warren activity centre and the Isle of Wight.
Clifton Hill School recognises that young people with learning difficulties need the chance to socialise and enjoy age-appropriate activities outside of the school day. We run regular evening activities for our students, providing our young people with opportunities to use local leisure facilities and explore new activities. This also allows their parents/carers valuable time to themselves – perhaps to spend with other siblings, exercise or attend evening classes.
