Student Positions
Prefects are chosen from the members of the Sixth Form lower sixth during the first half of the Autumn term. House Captains are chosen after selections for Head and Deputy Head Girl and Boy have been made, and this is usually done by the candidates making speeches in front of their Houses, and the House voting on the two best candidates. This is open to any lower sixth former in the designated House and not just Prefects.
Every year, two male and two female members of the upper sixth are made Head Boy, Deputy Head Boy, Head Girl and Deputy Head Girl respectively. Short-listing is done by voting on Prefects who have chosen to sign up, with staff having three votes, and each student in the lower sixth having one vote, for male and female categories. Interviews with the candidates decide the final results, with the Headmaster having the final say. The positions are usually announced during March, as to not distress students during AS Level exams.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or positions:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.”
—Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)
