Pupil Voice

Prefects

The prefect structure exists to allow pupils the opportunity to develop and to practise their leadership skills whilst serving their school community or representing the school both locally and nationally.

The structure provides leadership pathways for all pupils within the School and opportunities to develop skills such as working within a team; solving problems; making decisions, being enterprising and taking responsibility.  Prefects at the School support members of staff by encouraging good behaviour and following the School rules and uniform requirements.

The Prefect Team consists of 2 Head Pupils and 2 Deputy Head Pupils. These Pupils represent our school at formal events, lead Pupil Voice, lead all other Prefects and have whole school responsibilities, such as lunchtime duties.

By taking on a Prefect responsibility, pupils will be able to:

  • Demonstrate the quality of commitment by upholding a post of responsibility within the school.
  • Demonstrate leadership skills through the organisation of activities within the school.
  • Demonstrate social values throughout the school.
  • Support school staff in the promotion of excellence within the school.
  • Enjoy the privileges afforded from positions of responsibility.
  • Act as role models for other pupils in the school.

​Pupil Voice

  • The Head Pupils represent the views of the pupils of the school and are the pupils’ ambassadors for the school.
  • The Head Pupils are responsible for leading and organising the whole school pupil voice team.
  • The whole school pupil voice team will include the Head Pupils, and two representatives from each year group.
  • The whole school pupil voice team will meet regularly with the Deputy Headteacher and Assistant Headteacher (Personal Development) to discuss pupil views, ideas and any issues. Minutes and decisions resulting from these meetings are communicated via the notice boards as before and through Form time and Assemblies by the Head Pupils and SLT as well as SV reps as appropriate.
  • Pupils have the opportunity to elect two members of their form group to be their year group pupil representatives.
  • Pupils have the opportunity to put forward ideas or suggestions for discussion at pupil voice meetings via their form representative or their year representative.

The Pupil Voice Form Representatives (2 from each Tutor Group) are scheduled to have a meeting with their Year Head every term.

Minutes of these meetings are published on the year group notice board and Form Room notice boards, as well as on to the Pupil Portal.
