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

History

The school was founded in 1942 when half of Clifton School moved from Durban to the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands over fears of danger during World War II. It has become co-educational.

Clifton has added Grades 1-3 and phased out Grade 8 which traditionally was a boys only grade.

Boarding

Clifton accepts both boy and girl boarders from Grade 1 (age 6). Clifton 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 Southern African countries.

Grounds

Clifton School has 60 hectares of land.
