Prior’s Field School

Where Girls Thrive

Independent DAY & BOARDING School for girls aged 11-18

MEET OUR HEAD

Zoe Ireland

Welcome to Prior’s Field School.

 

Founded in 1902 by Julia Huxley, Prior’s Field was created as a pioneering all-girls school that nurtures talent, fosters ambition and encourages girls to engage with the world beyond the classroom, as it still does to this today.

 

We develop self-confident, happy girls with a wide range of talents, guided by our exceptional teachers and staff. Each student receives personalised support, whether she is challenged to excel academically or supported in building up her understanding. Our approach is tailored to her individual needs.

 

Every year, I see exceptional outcomes, made possible by the care, expertise and dedication that support our girls every day.
