Our 2024-2025 Senior Prefect Team
HEAD BOY - Khaya Maninjwa
Hiya, I’m Khaya Maninjwa and I have the honour to call myself Head Boy at St Edmund Arrowsmith. I remember the disappointment I felt when I didn’t get the position of Head Boy when I was Y6 at All Saints Catholic Primary School. However, as the school teaches, making mistakes is not only acceptable but recommended (if you learn from them). I realised what I needed to do to become Head Boy material; the qualities, characteristics and goals needed to lead our school forward. To do this, I promise to try to do the best I can to improve the school in any way possible. I promise to listen to all the people in this school to build a better community not only for myself but for everyone in it, and most importantly, I promise to uphold the Catholic virtues imbedded into all that we do. I am eternally grateful for this opportunity and everyone who’s helped me along my journey. I will endeavour to make the most of it during the next year to make them proud.
HEAD GIRL - Mihaela Kirova
I am not only proud of myself, but also of my peers who have succeeded within the interview process for senior prefects. Throughout my time as a student, I have felt empowered by previous Head Girls and I only wish to maintain this standard, using my platform to provide a voice for others. Every moment for the last 4 years has led to this and I will ensure to maintain an impeccable standard of behaviour and set an example for younger students to look up to. I am a “people’s person” which is a phrase I used multiple times within my interview process as it truly reflects who I am. My compassionate, patient, and caring attitude shines through in every aspect of school life. I realise that this position comes with great responsibilities, but my work ethic, commitment and passion towards this role will drive me to achieve my very best. During this last academic year, I promised myself that I will take every opportunity I get with an open mind and a goal to succeed, which is the mind frame that I will keep during my time as Head Girl. Throughout school, I have been blessed with so many experiences which have shaped me to the person I am today and I only wish that I can give back to such an amazing community of staff and pupils, throughout the next year.
DEPUTY HEAD BOY - Jack Stafford
Being Deputy Head Boy is a significant responsibility, but it is also a rewarding experience. I am delighted to have the privilege of calling myself Deputy Head Boy at St Edmund Arrowsmith. From the moment that I stepped foot into this school, I felt welcomed and received overwhelming support in all my endeavours. With this prestigious role, I hope to pay back to the community that I’ve grown in. I also hope to support all my peers and help in any which way I can. Over the next 12 months, I will represent the school to the best of my ability and support the Head Boy and Head Girl, as well as the rest of the team, to the best of my abilities.
DEPUTY HEAD GIRL - Evie Cutter
Hello, I am Evie Cutter and I used to be a pupil at St Benedict's Catholic Primary school. I was more than delighted to hear that I had been selected to be deputy head girl for the 24/25 school year at St Edmund Arrowsmith. Since joining the school back in 2020, I have always looked up to the previous senior prefects and senior pupils and always aspired to be a part of the team if I was given the opportunity. This role is an honour and something that I will cherish. I am a hardworking, resilient and respectable person, someone who the younger pupils can look up to. St Edmund Arrowsmith has helped me to grow in confidence, and I am now able to speak in front of numerous pupils and staff. Working with the senior prefects and other members of staff, I would like to help make the school community grow as a whole and make it more enjoyable, but also still having our catholic faith a key part of our community thought the school. I know how important this role is and I will do my best to fulfil it and give it my all.
DEPUTY HEAD BOY - Jack Barbor

Ever since the beginning of my journey here, I have always had the desire to put my words into actions thanks to staff and pupils who have pushed me to grow as a person by giving me so many opportunities during my time here. All these opportunities gave me confidence to pursue things I believe in, to make the school a better and more enjoyable place for students to grow and learn in. The role of Deputy Head Boy is a wonderful opportunity to not only improve school life and well-being of the pupils, but also to grow as a person into my new position. This role has always been a goal of mine and I am looking forward to fulfilling it during the next academic year.
