Successful candidates will have their own golden uniform free of charge by Caseys, the school’s uniform supplier. They will be asked to contribute to whole school events such as the new reception starter event or show around guests or visitors from time to time.

House Captains (sports captains)

An honour given to those children who will be responsible for collecting and collating the house points each week. These roles also come with special sports responsibilities which are carried out daily.

Prefects (hall monitors)

Prefects are appointed in all classes from Y3 up by their class teachers. Each KS2 class teacher is entitled to appoint up to 5 prefects from within their class. Pupils will be made prefects for demonstrating the following qualities;

• A leading example of a HTL pupil in their class
• Consistently excellent behaviour over a period of at least half a term
• Consistently excellent effort in class
• Consistently demonstrating our Christian Values

Prefects will be awarded a pin badge which they should wear at all times on the outermost layer of their uniform

Prefects are entitled to sit on the benches during worship and at the ‘Prefect table’ in the dinner hall (regardless of their meal choice). Pupils must be wearing their prefect pin in order to take up these privileges.

A teacher, the HT or DHT may remove a pupil’s prefect status where they are no longer consistently demonstrating the qualities listed above.

School Council

Our school council meet regularly to discuss issues and raise money for the school. In recent years we have organised sales that have helped us to buy additional outdoor play equipment. We also discuss issues of whole school concern, such as improving lunchtimes and resources needed and organise competitions such as designing Anti-bullying Posters.
