Competitions

If you want to run a competition at school, prefects help you get it off the ground. You bring the idea; we deal with the parts that usually stop it happening.

Pitch a competition

What this is

Anyone in the school can propose one. A talent show, a chess tournament, a quiz, something nobody has tried yet. It doesn't need to be planned out; a sentence in the form is enough to start a conversation.

Getting it approved

Prefects take the idea to the right member of staff so you aren't chasing permission on your own.

Telling people about it

A notice on this site, plus getting it into assemblies and registration so people actually turn up.

Running it on the day

Sign-up lists, brackets, timings and someone else on hand so you're not doing all of it alone.

How it works

  1. 01

    Put the idea in the form

    What it is and roughly who it's for. Two minutes. You can put in an idea you're not sure about.

  2. 02

    We come back to you

    A prefect goes through what it would take, what the school will need to sign off, and whether it can happen this term or next.

  3. 03

    It goes on the noticeboard

    Once there's a date, it gets posted on the home page so the rest of the school can enter.

Get involved

Whether you want to run something or just help out with one, it's the same form.
