interesting story uncovered by the legendary investigative journalist graham tutthill posted on kent online.
Sophie Grayson, who only joined the school in September to study for her A-levels, was picked ahead of all the boys who applied for the post, and takes over the role when the pupils return after Easter.
Sophie said she was very surprised when she was told she had been appointed.
"Originally I didn't even apply," she said.
"But I was asked to fill out an application form, and then I had to go for two interviews, one with the current head prefect and sixth form co-ordinator, and the other with the head teacher, Dr Richard Moxham.
"I thought several of the boys were more likely to get it than me."
She will take on the role at the first assembly of the new term, taking over from head prefect Toby Fuller, and her first task will be to choose four executive prefects, one for each house.

Oh bless her. I know her quite well. She's a very bright cookie and her parents own the Fox in Temple Ewell. That girl will go along way. I also believe she's almost in the running for the Junior apprentice too. Hopefully come good Friday she'll find out if she's successful. Not sure if i was meant to make that public or not but hey ho... I'll soon find out if i'm barred from the Fox for life lol.

Oh and she's the type of teenager that gives kids a good reputation. Sadly we hear more about the badduns than the gooduns these days.
