I have a part in a school play and I am supposed to sound like a stuck up pretentious snob, any ideas on how?

Alright.
Try acting like you're on top of the world and the most popular person on the earth!
So use your hands alot. Roll the eyes. Snarchy tone in your voice.
Congratulations on the part!
Have fun being a SNOB!
:D

Since you can't really change the TEXT in the play, use the text in order to make your character snobby.
If you take the posture of a typical "snob", good posture, nose up, very confident...
and use the words in the script (I'm assuming that your character IS a snob, so they probably say snobby things...)
and then allow your posture and the words in the script to create your snobby walk, snobby talk, and snobby attitude!
Have fun, and be bold!

Erm... I'm good at sounding snobby, have you got anyone at school who sort of looks down on everyone. And although I may not like to admit it, they are right in saying a British accent could work. Say "The black cat sat on the square mat." in a POSH BRITISH accent.

Watch a British movie. Imitate a British butler. Nose in the air. "Can I help you madam?" Proper English. No slang. Think of yourself as a king with no one as good as you. No one is good enough to speak with you, let alone hear you speak to them.

Pinch your nose, then try speaking through it. Should start sounding like the queen!

Always talk with your teeth together like the royal family. You cant help sound posh like that!
