School Captain and Prefects

Daniel Nicoll (School Captain)

It was with both shock and joy that my family, friends and I discovered that I was appointed to this prestigious role. On my first day last September, when on a tour given by Hugo Rompani, his accolades seemed far out of my reach, and although I joked, I could have never foreseen being his successor. The fact that I have been granted such trust and responsibility after my short period at Reading School only goes to show the sense of community embodied in every member of the school and I am extremely grateful, if a little wonderstruck.

At first, I was worried my late arrival may hinder me as School Captain, but, in the short time since being appointed, the support of my peers and fellow captaincy team has inspired me with such confidence that we are going to have a successful year, despite current affairs and the world’s recent state of disaster. More critical than ever in these tough times is our community spirit that previous prefect teams have strived to build and develop. As everything begins to return to a new normal, I am, in conjunction with the prefect team, excited to strengthen this bond within the student body, but also give back to the wider community of Reading.

My extremely strong captaincy team have already helped compile a list of numerous bright ideas which we look forward to implementing in and around Reading School (ranging from Christmas Hampers to a school science fair), in a hope to leave a lasting legacy.

THE PREFECT TEAM 2020-2021

I look onwards to my final year at Reading School, and although we may face increased adversity, I believe the desire of our community to achieve greatness means we will still be able to have an extremely positive year. Once again, I would like to reiterate my sincere gratitude for my appointment as School Captain and I recognise the honour it is to work alongside my Vice-Captains and Prefects as I anticipate the year ahead.

Daniel Nicoll (School Captain) and Ross Hickman, Aditya Krishna, Suyash Singh and Charles Carter (Vice Captains)

Congratulations to the Prefect Team who were carefully selected through a rigorous application process.
