- Prior’s Field is a vibrant and successful school with a fascinating history. Nestled within 42 acres of stunning Surrey countryside, we feel hundreds of miles away from the hustle and bustle of London, but can be in the city within forty minutes. Our safe, tranquil setting is home to a school with a difference, a place where individuality is celebrated and uniqueness embraced: a happy, positive environment, where the girls enjoy learning. Our founder, Julia Huxley, was an inspirational teacher with pioneering ideas about the education of young women in Edwardian England. In 1902 she realized her dream. Prior’s Field was established as a progressive school that stimulated its pupils intellectually and broadened their cultural horizons. Her bold spirit and legacy of successful innovation continue to shape our work today. This is the route to high achievement that Prior’s Field offers: high expectations and plenty of ambition within an environment that provides both a springboard for success and a safety net. At the end of their time with us, girls will have done very well academically, but it is their experience of school life that will have made all the difference. As they complete their journey, we take great pride in the young women they have become: well balanced, thoughtful of others, and fully prepared for the next stage of life. They go on to a broad range of universities to study courses that reflect the independence, diversity, and intellectual acumen we have supported. They have a confident belief in shaping their futures. Achieving happy girls, every day, is our core aim. The happiness and well-being of our girls have always been at the heart of what we do because we know that contented and fulfilled girls, succeed. They have the confidence to step outside the box, take risks, try new challenges and embrace opportunities. We celebrate achievement in the round – creatively, actively, pastorally, and yes of course academically – but not to the exclusion of everything else. 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.
