Clifton College Council

As Clifton College is a charity, an elected Council governs it. The Council delegates the day to day running of the College to a leadership group comprised of three teams: the Senior Management Team (Upper School), chaired by the Head of College; the Senior Leadership Team (Preparatory School) chaired by the Headmaster of the Preparatory School; and the Senior Executive Team.
