Headteacher Zoe Ireland shared:
“I am so proud of each and every individual, not only for their academic achievements, but for the character, kindness, and spirit they have shown throughout their time with us. Watching their joy today has been a privilege. They should be immensely proud of everything they have accomplished so far”
She also paid tribute to the staff, saying:
“These results are not just a reflection of our students’ efforts, but also of the incredible dedication and passion of our teachers. I am deeply proud of the unwavering support, encouragement, and expert guidance they give to every student, they are at the heart of our school community.”
Zoe added:
“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. Their success reflects their individuality and the nurturing environment in which they have thrived. We cannot wait to see where their journeys will take them next.

Our Head Girl, Arabella, has also been part of the Prior’s Field family since Year 7. It has been a privilege to watch her flourish from her very first day to her last, growing into a confident, capable young woman who leads with warmth and integrity. This year she achieved A, B, B in Art and Design, Business, and Psychology, and will go on to study Fashion Marketing at the University of Leeds. Arabella’s creative vision and entrepreneurial spirit will no doubt serve her well. She will be joined at Leeds by our Deputy Head Girl, Juliette, a fitting continuation of their shared leadership journey.
