contents We prove that for each integer $r\geq 2$, there exists a constant $C_r>0$ with the following property: for any $0<\varepsilon \leq 1/2$ and any graph $G$ with clique number at most $r,$ there is a partition of $V(G)$ into at most $(1/\varepsilon)^{C_r}$ sets $S_1, \dots, S_t,$ such that $G[S_i]$ has maximum degree at most $\varepsilon |S_i|$ for each $1 \leq i \leq t.$ This answers a question of Fox, Nguyen, Scott and Seymour, who proved a similar result for graphs with no induced $P_4.$
