What is a prefect: The position of prefect is a position of responsibility and one which provides an important link between pupils and staff. As prefect you will have the opportunity to take responsibility and share in the leadership of the school. The example you set, your attitude to work, your courtesy, the way you relate to others, how you look after the school and uphold its rules must be of a very high standard.The role of prefect brings out the students’ leadership qualities which may serve as a stepping stone for you in the future, especially with regard to CVs and job applications. . The role of a prefect: The main role of a prefect is to help in the smooth running of the school by giving of their time to perform some particular duty. Prefects are role models for other students. They must abide by the school rules at all times. They act as student leaders by wearing their uniform properly, giving good examples with their behaviour and attitude and performing their assigned duty properly. Their role may give them the opportunity to liaise with younger pupils and give them support and encouragement. They should be prepared to be proactive and consider themselves prefects at all times, not just on their designated slot. They MUST therefore be: Reliable Conscientious Polite Prefect duties You must know and remember where and when you are on duty If you are unable to do your duty, it is your responsibility to ensure that you arrange a swap with another prefect. Prefects who persistently fail to do their duties will forfeit their right to be prefect. Attend any prefect meetings called. Be aware of the example that you can set as a prefect.

We are delighted to say that over the summer, 60 new bike racks were installed at the left side of the Woodwork Rooms. Each rack has a roof which keeps the bikes dry. As part of National Bike Week, the Green Schools Committee counted the number of bikes present on the school grounds. On average, we have 110 people cycling to school every day and we hope that these new bike racks will increase the number of students and teachers cycling.

School Drop-Off & Collection
Created : 17 Sep 2021, 9:38 AM

Dear Parents & Guardians, Please be mindful when dropping off or collecting your son from school about the safety of everyone entering and leaving the school building in the morning and evening. We have almost 100 cars on the school grounds with staff alone so we cannot permit any parents to park in the school or at the school entrance when collecting or dropping off students. We also have a number of buses trying to operate drop-off's and collections, in addition to the number of students cycling in and out each day. With this in mind we would ask that parents please do not park too close to the front gate. It is a safety hazard each day and can put the students at unnecessary risk by obstructing their path and also the vision of drivers exiting the school. Your continued support and cooperation with this is much appreciated. Kind regards, The Management Team
