Clifton Preparatory School, Nottingham Road is a private, co-educational day and boarding primary school located in the Nottingham Road area of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands in South Africa.

History

The school was founded in 1942 when a number of Clifton Durban boys moved to the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands over fears of danger during World War II.

Clifton has added Grade 00 and phased out Grade 8 which traditionally was a boys-only grade.

Boarding

Clifton accepts boy and girl boarders from Grade 1 (age 6) and offers boarding options, from full boarding to weekly and temporary boarding. Clifton is one of the few remaining independent preparatory schools in KwaZulu-Natal that offers full boarding to young children, with boarders coming from around the country and various Southern African countries.

Grounds

The school has 60 hectares of land.

IT

Clifton has campus-wide WiFi providing children access to the Internet, email and servers. The One Laptop per Child program provides every child in Grade 5, 6 and 7 with a NL1 or NL2 Tablet Classmate Netbook.
