Clifton Lodge School are so delighted to have been shortlisted for the Independent Schools of the Year Awards in the category of Small Independent School of the Year.  This acknowledges our commitment to nurture each child to 'Be their Best'.
Our Nursery and Reception children had a wonderful time at Odds Farm Park yesterday.  They enjoyed a trip around the farm on a tractor & trailer, feeding the goats and piglets and a workshop about caring for the animals.  Lunch was in a big tent followed by the opportunity to play outside where there were toy tractors and two playgrounds to choose from.  Everyone came home tired but happy after a fabulous day out.

Here are some of the reactions of the children:
Elessandra: "I liked feeding the piglets and goats."
Isabella: "I loved it when the little hen nibbled my finger.  It was funny and I did not cry!"
Maria: "I liked to watch when the little goats were fighting for the milk!"
Borna: "I liked to touch to rabbit, it was very soft."
Jetlee: "I liked to play football on the big playground with Borna's dad".
