Lives: 6 Mar 2013 Academy Beat




Lives in a Landscape show

Summary: When Dave Clifford left the Metropolitan police after thirty years of service he didn’t opt for an easy life: instead of retirement he took a job as head of year at a London academy and eight years on he’s still there. Alan Dein meets him and finds out more about the pastoral care he delivers, including sorting out the mysterious case of chicken bones found spread across the canteen floor and the baffling antics of teenage pupils who have been filming themselves as they cough and splutter whilst eating cinnamon!
