In pictures: a peek inside Clifton College

By Maia Harris-Jordan  Tuesday Mar 20, 2018

Clifton College, designed by architect Charles Hansom, truly is a beautiful series of buildings. While the school owns many of the buildings around Bristol Zoo and beyond, the most recognisable aspect is the dramatic quad, clock tower and chapel. The size of the grounds is breathtaking, and students have space to grow, learn and live at the school.

The walls of the science labs are lined with plants, fish tanks and even stuffed birds

Fairy lights hang from the ornate ceiling in the Percival Library, creating the feeling of stepping into Hogwarts

The boys’ house halls, a common room where day students and boarders can congregate
