New Head Girl Appointed at Maltman's Green Prep School

Posted on 30th Nov 2020 in School News, Achievements

Girls at Maltman's Green welcomed a new Head Girl this term - the first head girl the school has seen for many years. The Head Girl is joined by two deputies and a team of prefects.

These girls have been selected from those in Year 6 to represent the whole of the student body, to inspire and be good role models. The Head Girl will assist in assemblies, present/read at school events and oversee her team of deputies and prefects to support the rest of the pupils in the school.

The Year 6 Prefects will perform their role on a termly basis, giving all Year 6 girls the opportunity to become a prefect at some point during the year. The Prefects are important role models for girls across the school, offering assistance to younger pupils, acting as playground buddies and being responsible for supervising the girls queuing at break/lunch times, among other duties. They will also run an assembly alongside the Head Girl and her Deputies. The School already has positions of House and Form Captains and Vice Captains and are extending the librarian roles to include a Head Librarian and her team.

With the prospect of sports fixtures, choir and music events opening up once more possibly in the spring (Government guidance permitting), there will be further appointments to be made such as Games and Music Captains as the rest of this academic year unfolds.

Being a leader allows children to grow in confidence, empathy, resilience and organisation skills. Collaborating with peers, tackling problems creatively, acting with integrity, being kind, finding the confidence to speak up, speak out and communicate clearly, respect the views of others and encourage those around us, are all important attributes that the school is hoping to instil in their pupils.
