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 in helping with the smooth running of the School. There are many opportunities to develop personal skills and qualities, including leadership, responsibility, sense of service and trust. Their job is to help organise and support each other in tasks that they are given and play a key part in developing the school and supporting other students.

Prefects

All prefects are expected to lead by example. They are expected, therefore, to be exemplary in their conduct, attitude and uniform. Their roles, responsibilities and privileges include for instance helping staff supervise all students in school during lunch and break times. They must report to the member of staff on duty in their designated area and supervise other students as requested by the member of staff. 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 and to represent Birkdale high with pride.
