I had the chance to speak with our new Head Girl, Tess Garrett and new Head Boy, Dylan Pearson, about their experience of going through the process of becoming Heads of School and what they are looking forward to doing.
How long have you both been at the College and what A-levels are you studying?
Dylan: I’ve been here since Year 9 and I am studying economics, business, and maths. Tess: I have only been at the College since the beginning of this year, and I study drama, English, and philosophy.
What was the process like for you both in terms of finding out on Friday?
Dylan: I was told late on Thur sday to come in early on Friday. The next morning, I went into Mr. Lawson’s office with Tess, and he and Mrs. Taylor -Hall asked us if we wanted to be the new Heads of School.
Tess: I had an inter view on the Satur day befor e and had to wait a week until anything else happened. I was told to go to HMO on Friday morning where I met Dylan and we were told the news. Then the Deputy Heads, Caitlin and David, came in and finally all the other Prefects came in, so the team were together for the first time.

Tess: Yes, it was a r eally lovely mor ning and everyone in house was congratulating me! It was also really lovely to see everyone congratulating Caitlin (Deputy Head) and Megan (Head of House) in house as well.
Did everyone in house know that you had been made the new Heads?
Dylan: Yes! They announced the Head of House decision in a house meeting while I was in HMO. While they announced Cass Stallion as the new Head of House, they had also announced that I was Head Boy, so when I came back to house at break everyone already knew.
Dylan and Tess are both excited to represent and serve the College to the best of their ability. Many congratulations to them both.
