New Head Boy and Head Girl for 2020-21

On Friday 3^rd July, Mr Hollyman and Miss Jones completed a series of interviews to select the Head Boy, Head Girl and their deputies. Normally, the interviewees would have had their discussions on the same day in Mr Hollyman’s office. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was more appropriate to conduct the interviews spread over several days and in a socially distanced setting.

The process began back in June when students were asked to write a letter applying to take a position of responsibility and head the Senior Prefects in the 6^th Form. A huge amount of applications were received and the 6^th Form Team had the arduous task of whittling the applicants down to the final few. Thanks must go to the many students who applied but were not asked to attend an interview.

On Tuesday 30^th June, six girls were interviewed for twenty minutes and asked to respond to a variety of questions: Lara Campbell, Hannah Clayton, Imogen Greene, Natasha Stewart, Kyra De Beer and Cariad Lucas were all superb. Mature, eloquent and confident, each student displayed numerous skills which demonstrated an abundance of qualities that would fulfil the role  of Head Girl.

The Head Boy interview process was completed on Friday 3^rd July involving the following young men: Jack Britnell, Ben Pease, Tommy Parker and Dean Whiteley. Again, it was impossible not to be impressed by the calm, confident and professional manner which each student exuded. The quality of the responses, and the eloquent way in which they were expressed, made the decision process a very challenging one for Miss Jones and Mr Hollyman.

Finally, however, a decision had to be made and the selection of the Head Boy, Head Girl and their deputies. We are, therefore, extremely proud to announce that Cariad Lucas and Jack Britnell will be Head Girl and Head Boy respectively with Kyra De Beer and Ben Pease acting as their deputies.

We would like to express our pride in all students who had the confidence in their own abilities to apply for the positions and congratulations to those who were able to gain an interview. The quality of all students were excellent and we look forward to the involvement of the Head Boy, Head Girl and the Senior Prefect Team in many aspects of the Sixth Form, and whole school, life in the next academic year.
