Sixth Form Leadership
We provide a vast number of opportunities for students to take leadership roles within the school.
Senior Student Team
The school elects a Senior Team of students, including Head Boy/Girl, a Deputy Head Boy/Girl and senior students, and their roles focus on both the Sixth Form and school as a whole. In addition, a Head of House is appointed for each of the 6 Houses and these students, along with a Deputy Head of House who is recruited from the new Year 12s in September, will lead the House for the next academic year. Head of House positions are then taken up by the Year 12 Deputy Head of House students in the summer of Year 12 and last for a year. They are regularly asked to represent the school on many varying occasions.
Subject Prefects and Other Roles
Sixth Formers also have numerous opportunities to help elsewhere in the school. We encourage all students to take on an additional responsibility, perhaps as a Subject Prefect, Mental Health Ambassador, Charity Ambassador or Inclusion Ambassador.
School Councils and Sports Opportunities
We also have an elected School Council, with members across the whole school. Many clubs and societies require Sixth Form help and leadership and teachers frequently look to Sixth Formers to help them set up new activities and run clubs. Some students can also develop their leadership through involvement in sports teams, helping out with younger teams or through the Sports Leadership programme.
Head Girl
Hello everyone, My name is Rosie Bentley, and I am incredibly proud to introduce myself as the next Head Girl of Presdales. Having been part of this school since Year 7, it means so much to me to be able to give back to a community that has given me so much
I am currently studying A Levels in History, PE, and Biology, with the aim of going on to study Physiotherapy at university. I am very grateful for the support I have received from both staff and students, which has allowed me to make the most of my time here.
During my time at Presdales, I have taken part in a wide range of extracurricular opportunities. I have completed my Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards, gained my Level 1 and 2 Sports Leaders qualification, and been involved in sports clubs and competitions. I have also held leadership roles such as Deputy Head of Pankhurst House and History Prefect. These have helped me develop valuable skills such as teamwork, resilience and leadership, and I urge you to get involved just as I have as there really is so much to offer at presdales.
Outside of school, I enjoy staying active, particularly through netball. I have played for Wodson Park since I was 7, and I am proud to have been recently selected for the London Mavericks U19 Academy, as well as representing Wales at the Youth European Championships, which was truly unforgettable.
I am so excited to get started in this role and to work with an incredible team of senior students, the younger year groups and staff to continue the supportive and successful environment that makes Presdales so special.

Deputy Head Girl
I am incredibly happy and honoured to have been appointed as Deputy Head Girl, particularly as I only joined the school in September of this academic year. I can wholeheartedly say that joining was a decision I am truly thankful for and I am delighted to have the opportunity to be able to give back to the Presdales community which has been so welcoming and encouraging.
I am currently studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths with the aim to pursue medicine at university. Experiences such as volunteering at Pinewood, attending MedSoc and being a Biology mentor are proving invaluable in broadening my skill base. I see the vast array of opportunities on offer as one of the school’s greatest assets.
Outside of my studies I have a passion for running and have recently completed my first half marathon. I also enjoy several other sports, including netball for which I also umpire and have helped coach younger teams.
Building on my role as Deputy Head of Windsor House and embodying the empowering and dynamic spirit of the school I will strive to ensure the same memorable and enriching experience for my peers.

Deputy Head Girl
I am truly delighted to introduce myself as one of your Deputy Head Girls for the upcoming year. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity and look forward to working alongside the senior student team to contribute positively to Presdales and support our wonderful school community.
I am currently studying English Literature, Maths, and Psychology at A-level. This broad range of subjects has been immensely fascinating to study, and it has been a real pleasure to explore them over the past two terms with the support of my fantastic teachers. In addition to my studies, I have the privilege of being a Big Sister to a Year 7 form which has been a rewarding experience. I also help run Psychology fun club, and support students with their reading during form times.
Presdales has been a foundational part of my life, offering countless opportunities. My most memorable experiences include serving as a defence barrister in Bar Mock Trial and performing as ‘Tallulah’ in the Bugsy Malone school production. These experiences have helped me grow in confidence, and I would encourage all students to seize the chance to make the most of what Presdales offers.
Ultimately, I am excited to give back to the school community, dedicating myself fully to this role and advocating for all students, ensuring everyone has a positive and rewarding experience at Presdales.
