Prefects

Here at Claremont High School the prefects work tirelessly to support the school.  Our prefects get actively involved in a wide range of exciting projects which enable them to demonstrate their leadership skills.  These projects have ranged from a radio station, to homework club, guides at open evenings, buddies to Year 7 forms, support of co-curricular clubs, games clubs, charity work and many more!

I am incredibly proud of the work that our prefects do and the values they demonstrate every day.  They work hard and as such can be seen wearing the special 'prefect tie'. 

Becoming part of this special team is a challenging process because we want to ensure we are choosing pupils who are committed to our school.  So if you feel you have what it takes to become a prefect please do fill in the attached form when your year group applications are open and join this leadership team!
