Head Pupils and Prefects

Taking personal responsibility is a skill that we expect our children to develop. We know that successful adults are able to take responsibility for their actions and understand that they are in control of their destiny. At St Nicholas, we have many opportunities for children to be responsible and independent individuals. 

'I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.'

William Earnest Henley

Having positions of responsibility in school, gives our children opportunities to practice being responsible for not only themselves but for others. They play a key part of shaping our younger children's behaviours and attitudes as well as being great role models and advocates for positive change.

Head Pupils:

Ollie Hill

"I wanted to be head pupil because I believed in myself and wanted this very important role and I thought I would be a very good head pupil. When they announced that I had got the role in worship, I was very shocked and also thankful to the people that voted for me. This memory will never be forgotten !"

Ira Hallam

"I wanted to be Head Pupil because I wanted to make the school an even better place. Being Head Pupil is such an Honour, and I am very thankful to have the job."

Prefects

Raynor:

"I wanted to be a prefect because I wanted the responsibility and to work side by side. It means that I am able to be a role model."

Judel:

"I really wanted a leadership role in school, I want to have an impact on school life."

Stanley:

" I wanted to be a prefect because I want to set a good example to others. I want to make sure that the younger children who may get it wrong, get it right!"

Jack:

"It's a good role to have in schoolbecause I am above to teach people how to do the right thing. It means that I am responsible for others actions and supporting them with that."

Mathew:

"I want to show our school values and to help the younger children to do that aswell. I have always wanted to be a prefect"

Sienna

"I like doing my role to help encourage everyone to be the best they can be. To set a good example to others as well as being ready for my own learning"

Arabella:

" My Brother Rowan was a prefect so I wanted to 'bring it on' too. I hope my sister will get it when she is in year 6. My favourite part of the role is making sure everyone is ready for learning as they come in from lunch."

Thea:

" I wanted to be a prefect because it gives you the responsibility of setting an example to be neat and respectful. Also I like helping the teachers."

Our Head pupils are voted for by the children in democracy week.
