Clifton-upon-Teme Primary School
Our Governors
The governing body of Clifton-upon-Teme Primary School is responsible for setting the ethos and vision of the school, identifying areas where the school needs to improve and planning how to make those improvements. It makes sure that the educational performance of pupils is strong and that the budget is used properly and effectively.
The Full Governing Body (FGB) meet four times throughout the academic year where they consider a number of documents including the Headteacher's Report, the School Development Plan and reports from committees and working parties. Currently there are two committees: Curriculum and Resources.These committees report to the Full Governing Body and their report is included in the minutes.
