Clifton House School was on Stray Road, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. Information about the school is included on the web site for Norwood College http://www.aeden.plus.com/nc.htm . It is not certain when Clifton opened but it was in the 1890s in Queen Parade, Harrogate; it closed in 1968. The school was named after the house it occupied, Cliton House. Its owner, James Walter Nuttall, moved the school from Queen Parade to Stray Rd in 1906.

Gordon William George Cass, or "Charlie" to his pupils, taught at Clifton from 1923 to 1936 when he left to set up his own school, Norwood College.
