We are very proud of our Senior Prefects here at St Edmund’s who hold roles of prominent responsibility.  A ballot is held each June when all students and staff in the academy vote,  thereby appointing a Head Boy/Head Girl/Deputy Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl to serve for the following academic year.

We would like students in the lower year groups to be setting their sights on appointment to these roles in years to come – thus holding a position in high regard and a valuable addition to one’s CV.

Some of the duties of our Senior Prefects include:-

• Being Ambassadors for the Academy – they represent St Edmund’s and the student body at a variety of public functions during the academic year, including Open Evening for Year 7 and Year 12 and Presentation Evening
• Greeting important visitors to the academy
• Sitting on the Academy Council
• Representing and speak for all students in the academy and support and prepare activities that encourage and support the learning of others
• Raising money for Charity via many events throughout the year and regularly report to our Academy Committee on their progress to date
• Organising and completely funding a Senior Citizens’ Christmas Party each year which is always a huge success
• Acting as outstanding role models for all students at St Edmund’s Catholic Academy
• Escorting students in the lower year groups around the Sixth Form Area and answer any questions they may have about progressing to the Sixth Form

They lunch with our Principal, Maggie Hughes and Academy Representatives (pictured here), fortnightly to discuss their progress and ways to move the academy forward and certainly make a very valuable contribution.
