Prefects

The Prefect System

The Prefect System allows students to demonstrate their maturity and sense of responsibility. Uplands Prefects are role models for the rest of the student body and embody the school’s ethos to the highest standard. The ability to lead and inspire is an expectation of all Prefects. Prefects are ambassadors for the school at all times and promote the safety and well-being of all students in our community.

Candidates for Prefect responsibilities are carefully selected by faculty and their peers. They must be responsible, diligent, hardworking, and ready to represent the school at any given time. The positions require forward-thinking, confident individuals who will introduce new ideas to the school and foster a positive ethos. Prefects act as a link between teachers and students.

They aim to embody the school’s values, as well as integrate its strategic goals into the daily lives of all students through communication and event coordination. These range from inter-house and sports events to the coordination of school assemblies and monitoring well-being among their peers.

The leadership system now also aims to nurture future leaders by providing an opportunity for students from younger year groups (Years 7-11)to take on roles of responsibility. There are middle and high school councils that are overseen by our student voice committee, as well as house representatives from each tutor group that are led by the house prefects.

Leadership Portfolios for 2024 include Service, Student Voice, and Community.
