Introducing our Prefects for this new academic year.
"The School Prefects are integral to the pastoral support and to the running of King's. I meet the Prefects twice a week, whilst they also have their own separate meeting, to discuss any issues affecting the School. I also have a working breakfast with Heads of Departments and Heads of Houses. The School Prefects are role models, but they also act as gatekeepers. By this, I mean I can talk to them about all aspects of the School and get their honest views. The Prefects then pass this information on to the boys and girls in the Houses and they also pass a lot of information up to the House Masters and House Mistresses on issues that are affecting the Houses."
