Prefects will lead by example, demonstrating independence, responsibility and reliability. As part of our RSHE and Citizenship education we believe that children need to experience responsibilities that come with being a member of a community in order to help them prepare to play an active role as citizens.
At East Farleigh, we believe that prefects have a very important role to play in the day to day organisation of our school and as only Year Six pupils are allowed to apply for this position (there are 12 roles available), it is considered to be very prestigious. Prefects are expected to take their role very seriously.
Prefects must consistently represent the core values of East Farleigh and be a positive ambassador for the school.
ENGAGE EXCITE EMPOWER
Once a prefect's application has been successful, they will be presented with a 'prefect' badge that they are expected to wear on their school uniform.
East Farleigh prefects must lead by example at all times in their behaviour, the respect they show to others and their school uniform. They take on many roles and have many responsibilities, such as:
be a role model for other children, to lead by example and to wear the school uniform correctly and with pride
be punctual, prepared and polite
taking responsibility for one class in the school, guide them through the school safely and sensibly to assembly and then back to their classroom
encouraging children to walk around the school safely and calmly
monitoring corridors during break and lunch play
greet visitors with positivity and promote the school as you show them around
assisting at school fayres and events
develop leadership skills
develop team work abilities, confidence, and be actively involved with the school.
You must:
be an excellent role model
be a good listener
be enthusiastic and committed learner
have good attendance
wear the correct uniform at all times
respect school property
support adults when requested
be fair to all
be honest, responsible and reliable
