Cricket Triumph at St Pius
Last month, Clifton’s Y8/9 Cricket Team travelled to St Pius for a grueling 20 over match. Captain Isa won the toss and opted to put us in to bowl first. It looked as though this might not have been the right decision as the home batters started to rack up the runs. We bowled quite well, […]
CCS Comedy Sketch Show
On Wednesday 7th May 2025, Clifton Drama Club presented their first official ‘Comedy Sketch Show’ in the Performance Hall.

Students were set the task of asking each of their teachers throughout the day, ‘What was the last show you saw in the theatre?’ Each response was then noted in the students’ planners, in return for a prize at the end of the day. Everyone really […]

Rotherham Schools Cup Finals
On Saturday 22nd March, we had the pleasure of taking our Y7 football team to compete in our first cup final in 29 years! The boys were upbeat yet nervous prior to kick off, but their rendition of Eye Of The Tiger through the speakers on the way to the match boosted morale. Before the […]
