School Council

Hello, my name is Harry and this year I will be Rokeby’s Head Boy.

I have had the pleasure of spending 8 years so far at Rokeby. I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one of those years and made some great friendships.

Even though I enjoy all my subjects, some of my favourites are English and Latin, and I also particularly enjoy Biology. I have always found my teachers very supportive and dedicated, and this has made my learning experience so much more rewarding.

I am a huge fan of sport, and my favourite is cricket. I was so happy to be in Rokeby’s 1st XI last year and am hoping for another fantastic season this time. I also adore playing football, rugby, golf, padel and skiing. I really appreciate the range of sports trips Rokeby offers, like the annual football tours and the ski trip.

As Head Boy, I will be working closely with the other boys on the School Council to present your ideas to Mr. Peck and the other teachers, and to try to implement positive changes where possible to improve the school community for us all. I promise to do the very best that I can in this role and am very grateful for the honour. I hope you all have a great year!

Hello everyone, my name is Mateo and I am pleased to be this year’s Deputy Head Boy and be involved with the School Council.

I’ve been at Rokeby since Year Four and have loved the teachers, curriculum, and the opportunities Rokeby gives to every single boy. Since this is my last year at the school I think it is safe to say I know a bit about the life of a Rokeby boy with all the worries you may have, so if you’re ever in doubt feel free to come and ask me any questions. Also, the School Council suggestion box is just outside Brodie if you would like to suggest an event or idea.

Since I am Deputy Head Boy,  the other members of the Council and I will be organising and partaking in many events, including the Summer Fair, Fireworks Night, and anything else you suggest. I hope this year’s School Council will bring many new and improved ideas to Rokeby.

Throughout Rokeby, one of the most important values I have learned is working in a team and respecting other people’s opinions. If you follow those simple steps, you will always excel at the task you were set. On top of that, every Rokeby boy should always be smart, skillful and kind.

Hello, my name is Alex and I am the Year 6 Prefect for 2024/2025 here at Rokeby School.

I have been a student at Rokeby since the beginning of Reception and ever since my first day, I have thoroughly enjoyed the warm and friendly atmosphere that the teachers and pupils have helped to create. My teachers have always motivated and supported me, and I have loved making great (and hopefully lifelong) friendships along the way.

My favourite subjects have always been Classics and Science. I am grateful that my teachers have helped me and pushed me to the best of my ability, making me find these subjects particularly rewarding. As well as liking all my academic subjects, I also have a great passion for sport, especially football. After a long morning of lessons, I always love to finish the day with Games. In addition to the main School sports, I also enjoy playing golf and skiing.

As the Year 6 Prefect, I intend to listen to the Year 6 boys/ views and make sure that they are fairly represented at School Council meetings. I am looking forward to supporting and guiding all the Year 6 boys and implementing as many of their ideas as possible. I am looking forward to the challenges of this role and really hope I do a great job!

Hello, my name is Ben and I am extremely glad to have been given the role of Year 5 Prefect.

I joined Rokeby in Year 3 and have loved every second of it. I love how kind and welcoming the boys and teachers are here at Rokeby. I also enjoy the variety of opportunities to take part in extracurricular activities from such a young age, such as sport, drama, music, art, and coding, as well as lots of fun school trips. My favourite thing about school is sport and competitive fixtures, and my favourite subjects are RS and English.

My goal in this school year is to make this the most enjoyable year for the boys in Year 5. I am really looking forward to hearing all of your thoughts and suggestions to make the school even better, which I will take to the School Council for consideration.

Hello, my name is Sachin and I am proud to be Year 4 Prefect this year.

I joined the school in Year One and the years have flown by.  As I enter my last year at Rokeby, I have always loved the supportive environment here and how the students and teachers have been so friendly from Day One. My favourite subjects are Maths, Geography, and Science. I also like to play football, tennis and piano. I love to act as it allows me to immerse myself in a new world.

As one of the ten School Council members, part of my job is to improve the school. Another part of my job as Year 4 Prefect is helping you whenever possible. You may come to me to help you with your problems or speak to me about something that you didn’t like or that needs improving, If you don’t want to speak to me, do talk to another school council member or post an idea into the suggestion box outside Brodie.

I hope we have an amazing year and I look forward to working with you.

Hello, my name is Freddie and I am very excited to be this year’s Year 3 Prefect.

I have been at Rokeby since Year 1 and have enjoyed my time here very much. I have enjoyed all the subjects, sports and many other aspects of school life. My favourite subjects are Geography, Science and Latin. I have loved all the opportunities and the various trips and clubs.

The other School Council members and I want to make the school a better place for students. We will meet every two weeks to discuss your requests, with each other and the teachers. I hope that we can make great improvements to the school.

Hello, my name is Ollie and I am excited to be the Bazalgette House Captain this year.

I have been at Rokeby since Year 1 and have loved every single second of it. During this time, I have enjoyed Rokeby’s sports, lessons and the arts. Also, the trips are amazing and always lots of fun. I am honoured to be part of the School Council and can’t wait to start making Rokeby even better.

My role on the School Council is to lead Bazalgette by example so that we can be the best House. I am your voice for the School Council so if you have any suggestions, then please tell me. I want to make Bazalgette come out on top for lots of things because I know we can do it. Come on Bazalgette!

Hi, I’m Aaron, the House Captain for Galsworthy this year.

I joined Rokeby in Year 4 so this will be my fifth and final year at the school. I have liked the way that the teachers support you with almost everything which has been great for me. Some of my favourite subjects are French and Music.

I hope that as House Captain I will help Galsworthy in all of the competitions. I will also make sure that we are all trying to win the House Cup this year. I want to be able to make this year the best one yet and be certain that everybody’s contributions to the  School Council count. Please try to come to me if you have a suggestion to improve the school or if you are just feeling a bit lonely.

Hello, my name is Jack, and I am really looking forward to being the Moody House Captain and a member of the School Council this year.

From the moment I joined Rokeby in Year 5 I have had a really great time – from the amazing sports and academic opportunities, exciting school trips and friendly and encouraging teachers.

As House Captain, I will listen to and support everyone in Moody, while keeping up the high standards of the previous years and leading us to victory with all the members of the House!

Come on Moody!

Hi, I’m Eddie and I’m excited to be this year’s Olive House Captain and to be on the School Council!

I joined Rokeby in Reception and have had a great 8 years so far. My favourite subjects are Maths and ICT and I really enjoy Cricket so I was pleased to make it into the 2nd XI last year. One of my favourite weeks in the school year is always Arts Week and I’m super proud that Olive has won the House Sing-Off for the last three years. Hopefully we can increase our streak to four!

I hope to lead by example this year and encourage everyone to give everything their all whilst having fun too. Come and say hi if you have any questions about school or suggestions for how we can make this an even more amazing place.

Have a fantastic year and, in particular, go Olive!!
