When Clifton High School opened its doors in 1877, the first pupil on the register was Elizabeth (Bessie) Percival. The School instilled in Bessie a passion for art whereby she became an accomplished artist in oils and water colours, exhibiting many of her works at the Royal Academy. Bessie describes her time at School as a "dream of delight".

Bessie's legacy continues in our Percival Gift Scheme, our regular giving scheme. 

The Percival Gift Scheme is our regular giving scheme. As a donor you may give monthly, quarterly or annually and through the Government's Gift Aid scheme, donation can be worth so much more, at no extra cost to you and your family.
