At Charles Darwin School, staff and students follow a simple yet effective motto; Aspire, Endeavour, Achieve. These three simple words have guided us as a school community to success and prosperity over the years.
We’ve had different journeys to get to where we are today, yet in becoming Head and Deputy Head prefects, we know that perhaps the most important of our respective journeys are following those three simple words. When we represent ourselves positively, we also represent the school, which is why as a senior prefect team, we aim to help the school prosper and succeed from volunteering with younger students, to our highly successful charity campaigns; any action we take is recognised to help the school prosper. As we enter our final year of school, we also recognise that our responsibilities will increase, and pressure will mount. However, we know that it is possible, as with the correct mindset and the continued support from students and staff alike, we will aspire to succeed, endeavour through all the trials and tribulations that sixth form life can bring, and in the end, achieve our goals and make ourselves proud.
We believe that every student at school can be successful, as the staff provide us with a plethora of resources and advice that help us along our journey. By motivating us, the staff at school ensure our success, setting the foundations for a highly successful life. The senior prefect team also promise to aid any student we can; becoming a link for the students to the teachers, and providing a listening ear for any worries that may arise. Throughout the year, we pledge to continue this support, alongside showing the fantastic skills that Charles Darwin School has taught us, and continue to hone our talents to further represent the school.

Head & Deputy Head Prefects
During my time at Charles Darwin I have felt challenged and motivated to try my best and achieve my potential. I have received an endless amount of help from the school from settling into Year 7 to building my confidence during Year 9 and 10. I aim to continue into sixth form to study Art, Maths and Physics A' level. After my A' levels I would like to do a degree in Architecture.
My favourite subjects are Science and Art. The lessons at Charles Darwin School are very good and the teachers are really helpful and want to help you to learn and succeed. The support I have been given by the school is amazing and really helpful. I have taken part in extra curricular netball and really enjoyed it. When I leave school I want to be a lawyer and I believe that this school will help me with this.
Since I joined Charles Darwin School I have been given lots of opportunities which have allowed me to become successful both academically and in sports. This is thanks to the teachers at the school and the support that they have given me. I have been a member of several sports teams and have taken part in the Elite Athletic Scheme. I have received an Excellence Award for P.E and have had 100% attendance. In the future I would like to be a stock broker.
I have had an extremely positive experience at Charles Darwin School. I started in Year 7 as a lower performing student to now being in the top sets for all my subjects. I enjoy all aspects of school life, and I am a prefect and an active member of the Student Voice. I look forward to studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths in sixth form, and with the help of the talented teachers at Charles Darwin school go on to do a degree in medicine.
“If you don’t challenge yourself you’ll never realise what you can become”. Being a student at Charles Darwin has made me realise this. From starting out as a young anxious Year 7 I have become a confident teenager over the years. This has helped me to achieve Platinum effort and 100% attendance since Year 7. My future aspirations are to continue with my passions of English, History and Maths through to A’ level and to then study law at University.
