Why We Have School Prefects at Brockley Primary School…
As part of our citizenship education, we believe that children need to experience duties and responsibilities that come with being a member of a community in order to help them prepare to play an active role as citizens.
At Brockley we believe that prefects have a very important role to play in the day to day organisation of our school and as only pupils nominated by staff are allowed this position, it is considered to be very prestigious. The position not only allows the pupils selected to lead by example and demonstrate their responsibility regardless of age.
The prefect badge will be expected be worn every day. Prefects are expected to take full responsibility for their badge and not to lose it through carelessness.
