Old Cliftonian Society

The Old Cliftonian Society (OCS) is the Society for the alumni of Clifton College (both pupils and staff) and organises regular reunions at the school and publishes a regular newsletter for alumni.^[1]^[2]

The Society publishes an annual magazine for alumni called "The Cliftonian".

Clifton College Register

The register's motto:

"There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported..."

The Clifton College Register is the definitive set of records held for Clifton College in Bristol. The Register is kept and maintained by the Old Cliftonian Society.^[1]

The record has been maintained unbroken from the start of the school in 1862 and lists every pupil, master and headmaster. Each person is allocated a unique and consecutive school number - and for masters and headmasters the number is prefixed with either an M or HM as appropriate. The Register also maintains a record of the school roll in numbers, the Heads of School and summarises the major sporting records for each year.^[2]

The Register is periodically published by the Old Cliftonian Society; at present there are three available volumes:

1862 - 1947
1948 - 1977
1978 - 1994

A new edition is currently being prepared (2010).
