Prefectorial Board

The Prefects at Bishop Westcott Boys’ School are expected to set the highest example in dress, attendance, conduct and involvement in school affairs. Their duties include assistance in the Dining Hall, at school functions of all kinds, and in the conduct of assemblies. They are also assigned responsibilities connected with particular activities, including sports, music, debating and community service.

Students are often more at ease speaking to a fellow student about their problems that with a teacher or administrator. School prefects can serve as a liaison between students and teachers, helping both to get their sides heard and understood, and speaking on the behalf of students who are too shy, frightened or cynical to speak for themselves.
