Watching their joy today has been a privilege. They should be immensely proud of everything they have accomplished so far'

'
What makes these achievements even more special is that our students have truly succeeded in the round, not just academically, but through their creativity, character, and wider contributions to school life. At Prior’s Field, we take pride in welcoming a broader, non-selective cohort of girls, and that makes these accomplishments all the more meaningful. It is a celebration of what young women can achieve when they are supported, inspired, and encouraged to believe in themselves, both inside and outside the classroom.'
As the students look ahead to the Sixth Form, they do so with a strong foundation, a sense of community, and the confidence to take on new challenges.
