Preparing perfect Polesworth prefects

Students who have been chosen as Prefect Team Leaders and Head Boys and Girls from Polesworth School, Dordon, are to undertake management training.

The aim of the days on 17th, 18th and 23rd June are to ensure the prefects are fully prepared to carry out their roles within the school.

They will undergo specialist training to help them deal with decision-making, leadership, delegation and handling difficult situations.

The event is organised by the Warwickshire Education Business Partnership, a part of Warwickshire County Council, as part of their commitment to preparing young people for their adult working life.

Cllr Chris Saint, Warwickshire County Council’s Portfolio Holder for Economic Development, said: “This is an intriguing way of bringing work world experience into Manor Park for the new pupils holding these positions of responsibility.”
