Prep School Prefects
Role Descriptions
All children moving into Year 6 are invited to apply for positions of responsibility through writing a letter to the Head of Prep outlining why they would be great in that particular role. Small groups of children meet the Head of Prep and Deputies in order to talk about their letters and discuss any ideas they might have. From this, roles are allocated with the following responsibilities:
Head Girl/Boy
- To uphold and share our ‘Always be Caring’ values
- Represent the School in services and events
- Hold regular meetings with prefects to ensure that they are making the most of their roles and are clear what their roles entail
- Be available to meet special guests to the School
- Attend School Council in order to hear pupil voice
- Deliver an end of year speech at our prizegiving ceremony
