This building was used as a school hostel. But now it is an administration office.

This school was built in 1913. The founder of this school is V.N. Bartlett. He was born in Ceylon and became the first school principal.

In 1928, Sir Hugh Clifford launched this school and this school was named after him.

In Malaysian language it is called Sekolah Menengah Clifford.
