Empowering Young Women
Welcome to Prior’s Field, our pioneering school founded in 1902 on the principles of an all-girls education, where there is no limit to what each individual student can achieve.
Our focus has always been on achieving success in the classroom and embracing opportunities and happiness outside it. Our aim to empower young women to become future leaders is more important than ever.
Prior’s Field is a place where individuality is celebrated and uniqueness embraced: a happy, positive environment, where the girls enjoy learning. Our small size is a huge advantage in this, as there is simply more space, more room and more oxygen for gaining emotional as well as academic intelligence. Our commitment is to providing space for individuality, initiative and enterprise to blossom.
At Prior’s Field, no girl is invisible. Your daughter will be known and valued for who she is. Every student is different – and we like that. We aim to develop multi-faceted, multi-talented girls. We do not have a one size fits all approach; here we prioritise breadth of experience as well as focus. We are driven by possibilities that inspire every individual to fulfil her potential and develop a deep and genuine sense of self.
Girls tell us time and again that they love their school, feel at home and are happy. They have great friends. They enjoy unforgettable experiences. They work hard and aim high. They feel the down-to-earth environment is a launch pad for a disproportionate number of stellar performances in all fields of endeavour.
At Prior’s Field, ambition and a desire to improve is celebrated and it is there for all to see.
We believe that excellence can only be achieved when there are many chances to excel and staff provide wonderful opportunities beyond the classroom, with an extensive co-curricular programme. The channels into which our girls can pour their enthusiasms are endless. The self-assurance that comes from discovering a passion, accepting a fresh challenge and enjoying success outside the classroom often lifts academic achievement. For me, that is the secret of an education in full.
Our flexible approach means plenty of choice. Teaching is tailored to individual needs: we know who needs stretching and who needs support. This means that girls of all abilities do exceptionally well with us. This of course reflects the quality of our teaching staff, as year after year our value-added performance is outstanding, and we have an excellent track record of academic results. It means, simply that your daughter will achieve beyond expectation. It means, that, at Prior’s Field, we make a bigger difference.
Come and see for yourself how we make the bigger difference in every area, not just academic grades. You can book an individual tour on any day of the week, or come along to one of our Open Events. Come and talk to some of our students to fully understand how our girls become bold and brilliant women, determined to make their mark on the modern world.
“We do not have a one size fits all approach and reject any form of regimentation that stifles the joys of independent thinking, discovery and self-expression.”
