The Senior Prefects share many of the expectations and responsibilities of the Head Boy and Deputy Head Boy. They play a key role on Open Evening and help with the smooth running of the School. There are many opportunities to develop personal skills and qualities, including leadership, responsibility, a sense of service and trust. They work as a team, organising and supporting each other to complete tasks they are given, and playing a key part in developing the school and supporting other students.

Prefects

All prefects are expected to lead by example, and to be exemplary in their conduct, attitude and uniform. Their roles, responsibilities and privileges include, for instance, helping the member of staff on duty in a designated area to supervise all students in school during lunch and break times. Prefects have the responsibility to show parents round the school on Open Evenings, and also take care of Year 6 students on induction days. Prefects are expected to be ambassadors for the school, demonstrating the correct behaviour at all times and representing Birkdale High School with pride.
