Lead Prefects’ Welcome
At Chertsey High School, we are proud to be bound by the core values of Knowledge, Determination, and Love. These values act as the cornerstone of everything we do, and as this year’s Lead Prefects, we are committed to upholding them in every aspect of our leadership. It is an honour to represent our incredible school family, and we are determined to make a positive impact that echoes sounds of progression and hope - not just within our school, but also in our wider community.
Our primary goal is to serve as a voice for the student body. We believe every student’s opinion matters, and we want to ensure that everyone feels heard and valued. Whether it is through generating feedback directly from the student body or working closely with our pre-existing student action team, we aim to create an open and inclusive platform where all ideas and concerns can be expressed. We believe that if we work together, we have the ability to foster meaningful change that enhances the learning experience for everyone, including future generations of students to come.
Another imperative aim of ours for this year is forging a stronger connection between our school and the local community. We not only strive to continue to support local charities and establish initiatives to amplify our commitment to local causes, but we also aim to raise awareness about prevalent issues facing our society to broaden our students’ horizons. We hope to foster a culture of generosity and encourage everyone to look beyond themselves, recognising the prominence of their role within our community. Following the establishment of our action plans, we hope to hold fundraisers and sustainability projects; with the help of you all, we hope to establish an undeniable prevalence of positivity which reflects the compassion and dedication of our school.
We also feel that a big part of our role is to guide and support younger students - and as they navigate through academic and personal challenges, we hope to inspire confidence and ambition. Our goal is to ensure every student feels empowered to make the most of their time at Chertsey High School and discover their potential to grow and flourish into remarkable individuals. We hope that they can look back at this time and know that they were supported and valued.
Collaboration is at the epicentre of everything we envision for this year. We do not believe that any of our ambitions will be possible without the help of the entire student leadership team and students from all year groups, as they play a pivotal role in helping us implement ideas that will create a progressive learning environment. We are excited to embrace the rich diversity of culture and identity within our school, celebrating the unique backgrounds that make Chertsey High School so extraordinary. By promoting cultural awareness and understanding the importance of personal identity, we aspire to promote an open-minded and sympathetic community that values diversity and uses it as a catalyst for change.
As we embark on this journey together, we wish to express our deepest gratitude to the teachers and staff who continuously support us and tirelessly work to provide us with the best opportunities. We hope to thank our peers who inspire us with their ever-growing passion and commitment to not only personal, but also collaborative success. And we desire to acknowledge the wider Chertsey High community, whose dedication and enthusiasm have accumulated into the family we are today and the individuals we shall become tomorrow.
While challenges may arise, we are confident that, by working together with our school’s faithful community of incredible individuals, we can persevere and learn from one another. Our goal this year is to leave our Chertsey High community thriving, and to leave our family in a position that rivals that of when we first arrived. Together, we hope to craft an inspirational legacy of growth, kindness, and excellence, and pave the way for cooperative success.
