Head Prefects
2024 - 2025: Evelyn Bedenham and Aarush Patel
Head Prefects have specific duties to perform on special occasions.
House System
Starting in Year 2, pupils are assigned to one of four houses: St. Andrews (Blue), St. Mary's (Yellow), St. Cuthberts (Red), and St. Giles (Green). Each house is led by a House Captain, as well as a Music Captain and a Sports Captain, fostering leadership and teamwork amongst pupils.
Siblings are always placed in the same house.
School Council
The Junior School Council consists of elected representatives from each class in Years 3 to 6. They meet regularly to share ideas and feedback from their classmates, helping to determine a key focus for each term—such as organising fundraising initiatives for new playground equipment. Each councillor is responsible for keeping their class updated on progress and decisions made by the council, ensuring that all voices are heard and involved in the process.
