WOODCOTE High School has elected its first ever head boy and girl.
The Coulsdon school held elections earlier this month following the efforts of teacher David Kellingley to set up a school honours board.
The board was unveiled on Monday, inscribed with the names of head boy and head girl Luther Blankson and Elisha Russell and their respective deputies, Charlie Daines and Saskia Navaratnam.
Head teacher Mark Southworth said that since the school's sixth form had become established "the time was right" to elect head students.
He added: "After a brilliant and inspiring election campaign, congratulations are extended to our successful candidates, Luther Blankson and Elisha Russell. Luther and Elisha are making a very impressive effort to become part of a unique Woodcote High School team and will have a positive impact on the student voice within the school.
"These two young people, together with a team of deputies and senior ambassadors, are committed to working together for the benefit of both the school and our students, and we wish them every success.
"They are also ably supported by a team of Year 11 ambassadors, who have already assisted in some successful projects sponsored by the school PTA."
