Our Prefects
The Prefect Team
At Yardleys we believe in helping every child achieve their potential, their potential of being the best person they can be. To us every child’s Personal Development is paramount to them being successful members of society. One of the ways in which we do this is via our Leadership programme. Every student has the opportunity to take a role of responsibility, whether it is Form Captain, Vice form Captain, Year Captain, Eco Leader or Prefect in the later years. Our prefects are carefully selected through a rigorous application process. Students need to first apply and then those with successful applications will continue through to the interview stage. This will help our students develop their interview skills and give them experience at a formal College/ University/ Career application process.
Being a Prefect is all about developing ‘Soft Skills’, skills you will not necessarily learn in a classroom setting when preparing for exams.
Prefects also have the opportunity to apply for the position of Head Prefects. Each applicant is required to do a short task that would then lead to an interview with the Head Teacher. These students will go onto represent the school and become the student voice on our School Council.
Abu Bakr Faqeer - Head Boy
I can confidently say that the time I have spent in this school has been brilliant and I fully enjoy my time here at Yardleys. From a timid and curious year 7 student to the confident, yet humble Head Boy I can say that I am honoured and grateful to have spent the last 5 years here. The opportunities and environment have forged me into the student that I am today. The friends, the teachers, the times of hardship, the times of joy, the constant encouragement and need to improve that the school presented to me, have all helped me become someone better and prepared for the future.
This role of head boy means more to me than just something I am during school. It’s showed me how I might be looked upon by others as a role model or how I may be a source of support for teachers and students alike, I am the voice of my peers.
Despite everything I may have achieved I still believe myself to be heavily flawed. I have things I get worried about but I strive to be the best version of myself, not just for me but for my family. The most important lesson I have learned here…Everything starts and ends with you, so make the most of it!
Huma Mahmood - Head Girl
Yardleys School has given me some of the best opportunities to excel as a student. I have been able to take part in many different roles at this school, from being Vice Form Captain to now our schools Head Girl.
Being Head Girl is a massive opportunity for me to put forward my viewpoints as a school voice and I am so grateful that I’ve been able to have this opportunity to improve many different aspects of our school community.
I feel prefects are a vital part of our school community. We are respected by both staff and students alike and hold positions of responsibility around the school, such as: Duties, Mentoring the younger students and providing academic support through the teaching of study skills.
Being Head Girl has also widened my paths for the future and I look forward to improving the students experiences here at our school.Om Patel (Deputy Head Boy)
