The new Head of School Team at The King’s School for 2011 has been announced by Mr Toby Hughes, Head of Sixth Form.

The Head of School is Luke Howarth (U6SW) with Miranda Harle (U6ML) and Arthur Jebb (U6AM)both appointed as Deputies. In addition, thirty other Sixth Formers have been selected as the Head Prefect Team, this being the largest amount of students that King’s have chosen since a new democratically elected Prefect system was put into place.

The selection process for the Head of School team is extremely rigorous and competitive, with candidates applying by personal statement, hustings debate, panel interview (with the Headmaster and Head of Sixth Form) and voting from teaching staff and Lower Sixth Form students.

The Head Prefect Team at King’s take on countless responsibilities in their year of office, including visitor’s tours, meeting and greeting at events, library duties and assemblies to Sixth Form film production as well as an alternative prospectus. Outside of the Head Prefect team a further 70 students have been elected to other Prefect responsibilities to enable almost the entire year group to gain leadership experience and develop the school community at King’s.
