Governors
The Clifford Community Governing Body meets twice a term to make decisions regarding the running of the school. We always meet as a full governing body so everyone is aware of what is happening at the school and its challenges/successes. The Governing Body consists of staff members, local authority governors, community governors and parent governors.
To get in touch with the Chair of Governors please contact the office who will forward any correspondence.
