Field Notes 2021

Putting together Field Notes is one of the best parts of my job. I love to collect your stories, memories, news and exciting achievements. It constantly amazes me that we all started off at Prior’s Field, yet we’ve all had such varied and contrasting careers. It’s this diversity that I have really enjoyed compiling for this year’s Field Notes. In this ‘International’ edition, we celebrate PF as a home away from home for our current boarders, we delve into the lives of our international Old Girls who have led interesting lives back home and also hear from those who have had the courage to set up their new lives abroad.

After a particularly hard couple of years for everyone, we are so relieved to be emerging from the pandemic and starting to introduce a sense of normality again. The events that we had to cancel are slowly but surely coming back, just in time to celebrate the school’s 120th birthday. We are delighted to be putting on a range of events for you, including 120 Years of Prior’s Field in 12 Treasures at Godalming Museum (22nd September), our flagship event, the Anniversary Ball (22nd October 2022) plus so much more to enjoy.

As you know, we enjoy making connections with our Old Girls and this is no exception. We are delighted that Helena Traill (OG 2008-2015) has designed Field Notes for us this year as she embarks on her new journey as a freelance graphic design and website creator. Thank you so much, Helena.

Now, put the kettle on and get comfortable. We’ve got another action-packed edition for you, thanks to the Prior’s Field Community.
