On a calm Midlands evening, families, friends, and children gathered in the Chapel for the Senior Primary Carol Service, a gentle and uplifting close to the term.
The Junior Primary Carol Service, held in the Chapel, was a special celebration of the birth of Christ and a joyful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. The Chapel was filled with warmth, music, and community spirit as families gathered to share in this much-loved Clifton tradition.
A Wonderful Musical Celebration: The Clifton Notties Interhouse Music Competition 2025
The Annual Inter-house Music Competition 2025 took place on Monday 24 November at 9.00am in the Chapel. The standard of musicianship was exceptionally high across the board, leaving our judging panel with the immensely difficult task of scoring the performances.
Cliftones
The Cliftones children have had a wonderful term preparing for the much-anticipated JP Carol Service. Their hard work and dedication truly shone through in what was an outstanding performance. Throughout the term, the choir members have developed their ability to listen to one another while singing, resulting in a beautiful sense of harmony and teamwork.
Choir
What a fun and exciting term it has been for the SP Choir! The highlight of the term was, without a doubt, our performance at the Expressive Arts Evening. The children have grown and developed so much this year and can be incredibly proud of all they have achieved. They are now singing with wonderful expression and in beautiful unison.
Term 4 has been a vibrant and successful season for our Band and Marimba programme. Both groups have shown impressive growth in skill, confidence, and musical discipline, making this term one of their strongest yet.
The 2025 Art Exhibition was a celebration of all things ‘Clifton’ - leaves, trees, footprints and feathers... From Grade 1 to Grade 7, we spent a couple of months building up to and preparing for this special occasion. Chickens were drawn in pastels and acrylic markers and printed with lino. Maple trees were painted in water colours and beaded in wire. Cardboard, gold paint, pine cones, and pipe cleaners were used to make 3D snails, footprints and feathers.
