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:
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
