Senior Prefects

Each February, our Sixth Form team ask the Year 12s (Lower Sixth) to vote for who they think they’d like as their Senior Prefects (appointments run from February Year 12 to March Year 13 (Upper Sixth)). This vote then leads to a shortlist, followed by a second round of voting, this time including staff. The top two students become the Senior Team Prefects and are informed of their success by the Head of Year.

The Senior Team Prefects have a responsible role – they have a weekly meeting with the Head to discuss whole school issues and are expected to represent the school on a range of occasions. These might include giving a speech at the Prospective Parents Evening, showing dignitaries or special guests round the school, attending the Old Owenians Harold Moore Annual Reunion Luncheon in October Half Term, voicing their opinions in governors meetings, leading their team of forms on Sports Day and playing a large organisational role at the end of the year and at Visitation. The Head Prefects are rewarded for their efforts with prizes at Visitation and £10 Beer Money!
