The place to achieve Believe ♥ Achieve ♥ Succeed

Our Distinctive Route to High Achievement If a girl leaves us with just a sheet of excellent academic results and no more, we have failed. What is her story?

What has she given?

Who has she become?

Does she have self-belief, resilience and a sense of deep rooted happiness?

Her achievements are so much more than a list of grades on a piece of paper.

We are delighted to share with you our record breaking A level results and our proven formula to GCSE success but our true headlines are these:

Our girls have achieved: • 100% pass rate in becoming confident, resilient and happy.

• Grade 9 for excellence in participation in extra-curricular life.

• Grade 9 for calculating that happiness is the square root to success.

• Grade 9 in scientifically proving that single-sex education allows girls to excel in Science.

• A* for all girls in understanding that achievement is so much more than just academic success.

Our Ethos: If you judge us by our excellent grades alone, you will not understand our ethos. Our interest is in the whole girl: her achievement in everything she does and every aspect of her school life. In her interaction within the school community; in her belief in herself, in her contribution as a pupil, as a peer, as a friend and as an ambassador for Prior’s Field for the whole of her life.

A Level Results 2021 At Prior’s Field we celebrate the individual achievement of every girl and we are consistently delighted by the wonderful results gained by our Sixth Form and ever more so by the diverse range of courses and top class universities which are their next chosen destinations. In recent years we have celebrated girls heading to Oxford to read Material Sciences, to Cambridge with choral scholarships, many girls continuing with their passion for creativity at prestigious art schools and a real strength in Science evidenced by significant numbers opting for STEM degrees at Universities such as Manchester, Surrey, St Andrews and Imperial College.

The Class of 2021 achieved 39% A*, 77% A* to B and 100% pass rate.
