The prefects are selected based on them having a caring and sensible nature, being reliable and honest, trustworthy, mature, patient and kind, being a good listener, well behaved and responsible with a good attitude. The position of prefect is a position of responsibility and one which provides an important connection between pupils and staff. The Prefect Team has an important role throughout the entire school community; they are responsible for helping set the tone amongst the student body and for maintaining and enhancing the culture of Saint Paul’s.

They are expected to establish and maintain the highest standards of behaviour and attitude at all times, providing a positive role model for other pupils across the school. They assist in the organisation and running of various functions and actively participate in the development of school spirit and pride and upholding the traditions and values of Saint Paul’s Catholic High School. Mr Michael Whiteside, Deputy Headteacher at Saint Paul’s, said: “There are many benefits from being a prefect, pupils gain many skills such as leadership skills, as the prefects have had the opportunity to work with the lower years in the school. They also learn how to manage responsibility as they attend weekly meetings and are given individual tasks which allows them to be more independent.” Mr Whiteside added: “Becoming a prefect is a valuable goal and the position of prefect forms an important part of a pupil’s personal development, opening their mind to new levels of responsibility and participation in a very positive way.” “Prefects play a vital part in the running of Saint Paul’s; assisting and supporting both staff and pupils They are a tremendous help to the school and play a particularly important role in supporting younger students,” explained Mr Alex Hren, Head Teacher. “The title of Prefect is given in recognition of the importance that the school places on leadership, teamwork and collective responsibility.
