Prior’s Field’s Centenary History has proved popular with Old Girls since it was published in 2002 to celebrate the school’s 100th anniversary. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, both colour and black and white, it tells the story of the school’s development since it was founded by Julia Huxley in January, 1902.

Copies have been sent to Old Girls throughout Britain and the world. With items gleaned from the school’s magazines over nearly 100 years, Prior’s Field School: A Century Remembered 1902-2002, tells of the school’s connections with such celebrities as Sir Julian and Aldous Huxley and novelist and playwright Enid Bagnold, whose book National Velvet was a Hollywood film in 1944.

The foreword is written by Baroness Warnock, who, as Mary Wilson, was a pupil at the school during the war.

Anecdotes by past and present pupils and staff enrich the book throughout.

The book, which was written by Honorary Old Girl Margaret Elliott, can be obtained from the school, price £10.
