Welcome from Head Students
We are delighted to introduce to you our Head Boy and Head Girl of both Lower and Upper School. As you read below, they have embraced school life to the full while they have been at Preston Manor School, and we couldn’t be prouder of them. We have no doubt they will excel at everything they do and rise to the challenge.

Upper School Head Students
Preston Manor has been a cornerstone of my journey, shaping me both academically and personally since I first joined the school. From the start, I was encouraged to push beyond my comfort zone, take on new challenges, and discover strengths I never knew I had. The school’s ethos of aspiration and commitment has consistently inspired me to set high standards for myself, while also giving me opportunities to grow as a leader and a learner.
Being part of Preston Manor has also taught me the importance of community and collaboration. Through my experiences as a buddy and a prefect, I have seen first hand how supporting others and leading by example can make a real difference in someone’s school life. These roles have shown me the value of listening, guiding, and encouraging my peers, and as Head Student, I aim to continue fostering an environment where every student feels included, supported, and motivated to achieve their best.
As I enter my final year at Preston Manor as Head Student, I take immense pride in my role; I see it as a pivotal moment in my journey. It's not just a title for me, but a commitment to lead by example and inspire others. My goal is to set a high standard for our school and help my peers reach their full potential, encouraging them to embrace every opportunity for growth.

Preston Manor holds a special place in my heart. It has not only provided unwavering support but also challenged me and pushed me beyond my limits, helping me overcome obstacles while developing my confidence, leadership, and communication skills.
The diverse range of opportunities the school offers is both exciting and enables me to explore my strengths and interests, keeping countless doors open for my future.
My first extracurricular role was serving on the school council, where I collaborated with fellow students to address concerns within the school and promote a welcoming environment for everyone. These experiences strengthened my communication and teamwork skills, and encouraged me to take on additional responsibilities, such as serving as a Year 11 Senior Prefect. I continued to work to give back to the school community by joining Eco Manor, an inspiring club dedicated to promoting eco-friendly travel and sustainable living through a range of competitions and campaigns.
The majority of my professional growth has taken place during sixth form through the countless supercurricular opportunities. I co-founded Manor’s Medics, a student-led medicine society focused on medical ethics, pioneering research, and NHS hot topics. This was my most challenging yet fulfilling endeavour. As an aspiring medic myself, I wanted to create a community for other like-minded individuals to learn, discover and debate important medical topics, enriching their understanding of medicine. From effective regular time management to honing my presentation skills, it taught me a lot, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the support of my teachers.
The opportunities here are not limited to academics or leadership roles. Personally, music became an avenue that I explored deeply, and it has grown into one of my greatest passions. I have been able to perform in various events, such as in the Lower School on World Piano Day. Events like these not only showcase the talent of students but also maintain the sense of community and provide an outlet to inspire younger students.
Being selected as Head Student is an honour that I value deeply. I am eager to work closely with the leadership team to strengthen the student voice, ensuring everyone is heard and respected. What excites me most about Preston Manor is its all-through nature, and I look forward to engaging with younger students, inspiring them to embrace the many opportunities the school has to offer.
Preston Manor has taught me that background does not matter in the pursuit of success; mindset and the courage to embrace challenges do. It is a place where students can openly express their opinions, organise events and clubs, and truly embody that sense of community. The lessons I have learned here will stay with me throughout my life, shaping the way I face every new challenge.
