Prefects

When pupils reach Year 5, they may choose to apply for a Prefect position at the academy. The prefects are vital in supporting students and providing a service to the academy. They assist in many areas of the school – Lunchtimes, Early Years, Key Stage 1 and the playground. There is also the position of ‘Head Prefect’ this carries further responsibility of producing rotas, showing visitors around, being a school representative and general management of other Prefects (along with Miss Akers). To secure a position on the Prefect Team children complete an application form and then attend an interview with the Senior Leadership Team. After the interview the most appropriate candidates are chosen. This is a great way for pupils to build on their life skills and experience real life situations. Prefects also receive further training to help them carry out their responsibilities around the academy.
