Head Student Team
The Priory School’s head student team serves as role models for all of our students and represents our study body to parents and the wider community. The duties of the head student team include giving presentations about student life at open evenings, greeting visitors and conducting school tours, organising and overseeing the work of the sixth form prefect team, and reporting how our students’ voice has impacted sixth form life to school governors. Applications for the Head Student roles open in the summer term for Year 12 each year, and students appointed serve throughout Year 13.

Message from the Head Students
Siyanni Haria
Hello, my name is Siyanni and I am delighted to introduce myself as one of the newly elected head students. I am currently in Sixth Form, studying Criminology, Sociology, Health and Social Care, and Core Maths.
Sixth Form is a very important stage in our education. It not only prepares us for university, but also develops the essential skills we need to balance the demands of life in the working world. During my time here, I have built strong relationships with the fantastic staff in the Sixth Form department and across the wider school community, and their support has been invaluable to my journey.
I am passionate about making the school eco-friendly and believe that we all have a responsibility to help sustain and improve our environment. I am always open to new ideas from students, both in younger years and the sixth form, on how we can make a positive impact together.
I am honoured to represent The Priory School and to work alongside the head student team. Together, we’re committed to strengthening our school and helping it thrive.
Elin Appleton
Hello, my name is Elin and I am thrilled to be part of the Head Student Team. I am studying English Literature and Language, History and PE alongside writing an EPQ. In the future I am hoping to study History at university.
I feel privileged to have been asked to represent The Priory School this year and to help give students a voice within the school to share their views. We are excited to include students from all year groups in school leadership and development opportunities, working together with younger students to make our school the best it can be!
I have always been incredibly proud to be a student at Priory and can’t wait to share and celebrate the many achievements of our students both within the school and the wider community. I am passionate about showing off our tremendous school spirit and pride to the world.
On behalf of the students and staff here at The Priory School we would like to welcome you to our sixth form and secondary school.
Junior & Senior Prefects
The Priory School’s sixth form prefect team plays a proud role leading and representing our students. Prefects are in charge of organising a variety of initiatives connected with all aspects of school life. These include supporting the running of our student leadership council, promoting diversity, equality and sustainability, and celebrating our students’ involvement with arts, STEM subjects and music. For each area of responsibility, a junior (Year 12) and senior (Year 13) prefect will be appointed each year. Each prefect team’s responsibilities will be supported by regular meetings with a dedicated staff liaison. All sixth form students are welcome to apply for prefect positions.
