School Prefects

Our School Prefects are good role models to their peers.  They lead by example and constantly remind pupils to make the right behaviour choices in and out of the playground.  

They play a key role in ensuring that all pupils obey the School Rules and follow the "Whitehouse Way" in everything they do.  

The School is keen for pupil representatives to play a key role in the life of the school and opportunities are constantly being developed for them to achieve that. Current duties include:   

• patrolling the playground and ensuring that high standards of behaviour are adhered to.

• monitoring classrooms during wet play and lunch.

• monitoring noise level as classrooms enter the assembly hall.

• supporting Reception children at lunchtimes to play game and develop social skills.

• offering a range of clubs to younger children at lunchtime. Current clubs include Art, TTRS (maths) and SpellShed. Sports' clubs are also offered in the Autumn, Spring and Summer months.

• regularly welcoming visitors to Whitehouse Primary and showing them round our wonderful school, including candidates who apply for jobs.

• supporting members of staff at Parents' Evening by manning laptops used for Parents' Survey and helping run the stationery and book stalls.

• running stalls at the Christmas and the Summer Fayres.

• assisting with the recruitment of the new cohort each year.

• .meeting once a month to review their role and making suggestions.

•  representing the school at outside events.

​​​​​​​

Furthermore, throughout their term of office, Prefects are encouraged to support other pupils' learning in the classroom. 

They also have opportunities to work collaboratively with other pupil-representing bodies to enhance their Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural knowledge and skills and that of their peers at Whitehouse. 

Prefects will continue to promote the role to their peers and will help recruit the next cohort. They will also have the chance throughout their time "in office" to use their reflective skills to help develop the role for the "next generation".
