Louis Prefect 2026/27

“Whitgift has allowed me to pave my own way towards discovering where my true passions and interests lie, be it through academic interests, the violin or CCF. By promoting an ethos in which failure is acceptable in the pursuit of our goals, Whitgift has allowed me to find enjoyment in that process of becoming a better, more well-rounded student, as well as a better person.”

Louis is an active member of the School community. He has achieved all 9/8 grades at GCSE and further enriches his academics through participation in Lit Soc, HiPSoc, and The PRAVDA Magazine. 

A talented musician, Louis is a member of both Senior Strings and the Symphony Orchestra, and regularly competes in the House Music and House Drama competitions. Since joining the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) Army Section in the Third Form, he has demonstrated strong leadership, progressing to take on positions of responsibility. 

Louis’s enthusiasm for the outdoors inspired him to undertake the Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. He also demonstrates a strong commitment to contributing to the wider community through his roles in the Whitgift International Summer School and the Whitgift Primary Project.
