Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School - Prefects

Prefects

Prefects are elected from Year 12 and hold office until the December of Year 13, when new prefects are elected by staff and Year 12 pupils. All prefects wear a plain navy blue tie with the school's crest below the knot. The prefect hierarchy has four main levels:

• The Top Three: the school captain and the two deputy school captains; these pupils have overall control of the prefect system and act as liaison between the prefects and staff.

• Senior prefects: seven prefects are elected to ensure that junior prefects are doing the correct thing at the correct time.

• Prefects: these junior prefects are accountable to their relevant senior.

• Specialist prefects: a small number of pupils have been appointed subject prefects, so far, in drama, mathematics, ICT, geography, history, music, languages and technology. There are also library prefects.
