Guthrie and Percival Commemoration

The first Guthrie Commemoration was held on 22nd May 1868. It consisted of a dinner at the Clifton Down Hotel, with Canon Moseley, Chairman of the Council, being in the chair. Several of the Council, the Masters and Old Cliftonians and a few members of the sixth form were present - about fifty in all.

It is a commemoration of the building of the Chapel and of John Guthrie and his wife Caroline, its founders and of all other “founders and benefactors, by whose benefit this whole school is brought up to Godliness and good learning”.

The warmest of welcomes to our Pre-Preparatory Commemoration Day.

It has been another amazing year in our part of Clifton College and we look forward to sharing that with you today.

As a community we take immense pride in what our children achieve here, and I hope our Commemoration Day gives you the opportunity to celebrate that with us and to get a sense of the magic of the Pre-Prep journey.

Mr Sam Morgan Head of Pre-Preparatory
