Prefects are selected in Year 10 for the Summer term of Year 10 and the whole of Year 11. Their job is to help the House and School to run more effectively. They all do duties and have a crucial role as role models and students who can be looked to as being trustworthy and reliable. Being a Prefect allows you to take on responsibility and shows other students, teachers, parents/carers, colleges and future employers that you are a person who is prepared to give something back to their community.
Year 10 students can apply to be a Prefect as part of their PSHEE programme. If you are interested you must complete an application form and attend a work shop.

The students who hold these posts have written an additional letter of application and attended an interview.

The Park Community School was formed in 1972, although our history and part of the campus dates back to 1910 with the former Barnstaple Boys and Barnstaple Girls Grammar schools.

Our catchment is wide, serving 31 feeder primary schools and a geographical radius in excess of 12 miles; however, many of our students travel a short distance and join us from one of our Trust partner schools or other local feeder schools.
