Head Prefect Selection Process

Student Leadership A ‘Student Leader’ is typically a student who takes up (normally through an application process) a position of leadership in a school and who is committed to making a difference within the life of a school. The aim of ‘Student Leadership’ within Comberton Village College is to give students an chance to develop their leadership skills through creating opportunities for them to contribute to the running of the school. ‘Student Leadership’ is a valuable way to express ‘pupil voice’. It is a way for students to take ownership of the spaces, places, systems and identity of their schools and to think how to make them ‘work better’ for everyone.

What is a Prefect? • A Prefect is a student in Years 10 or 11 who takes on a position of responsibility to lead a team or to contribute to the running of the life of the school. • Prefect positions are highly sought-after as they demonstrate to future employers, Sixth Form Colleges and Universities that you can be trusted with responsibility and are able to deliver when working on a project. • Students apply for the position in Year 10 and serve a ‘Prefect Term’ of Easter of Year 10 until Easter of Year 11
