Sophie – Being one of the Head Girls is a privilege and one I am proud of. I can’t believe I am that ‘big girl’ that I once looked up to, who was always approachable and embodied the School’s values of curious, courageous, compassionate, adaptable and spiritual. I hope and look forward to living up to this and being remembered as someone who whole-heartedly cared for the student body. I have really enjoyed being the pupil voice so far, raising any problems or ideas from others. In this current climate, our efforts have been in lifting morale, even on a small-scale such as putting up positive quotes around the School or creating some house spirit. It is great to be part of such a wonderful team of prefects who all bring different qualities to the table and inspire others to be courageous, which is the School’s theme this year. Sherborne Girls has truly moulded me into who I am today and so I look forward to being able to give back to the School all it has given me and see how I evolve in my role.

Amara – As one of the Head Girls, my main goal is to serve the School and wider community to the best of my ability, and the opportunity to do so means a lot to me. As a Candlelight recipient, I have been given so much by the wonderful people at our School since I joined in L4. I hope to impart the empathy, friendship and skills shared with me onto other pupils. My focus is on broadening the perspectives of the pupil body and encouraging them to help others and look after themselves. It has been great so far to work with the other heads and the committed prefect team, who are all so creative and approachable. It is my hope that through our roles we can inspire each other and create a real impact wherever possible. The leadership opportunities and desire to help others, developed through our time at Sherborne Girls, has guided us to our roles and we will do our best to live up to the trust placed in us.

OUR LEADING LADIES Introducing this year’s Heads of School

Charlotte – Being one of the Deputy Head Girls is an honour and I am delighted to be part of an incredible team. Ever since I joined Aldhelmsted West, I have always looked up to and admired those girls who were leading the School. When I was appointed to this role, I eagerly anticipated following in the footsteps of those whose compassion, receptiveness and integrity I hope to embody myself. Having joined Sherborne Girls in L4, I understand the challenges that all girls experience, and I hope that as a team, the Heads of School can offer a special support to all the girls. Due to the current situation, it has been more difficult to connect with pupils as we would have wished to, but we are persistently trying new ways to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable time. This has been encouraged by organising activities which can be done together in-house should there be a lockdown. Sherborne Girls has been my home for almost seven years and has supported me in so many ways, which I will be forever grateful for and hope I can reciprocate through my role.

Eve – Being given the role of Deputy Head of School has been an absolute joy and privilege thus far. I feel immensely proud to witness and aid development in the School, along with helping and supporting all the pupils in the best way I can. As an overseas pupil living in Hong Kong I understand the struggle of homesickness, hoping I could be of support for any girls struggling with this. Being involved with the School along with the Prefect team gives me a wonderful sense of unity, especially during this tough period where we all need to stick together. I feel I have truly grown as a person during my time at SG and hope I can inspire younger girls to work hard at their passions regardless of what they are and push for positive change.
