Bryony attended St Joseph's Convent School, now Crackley Hall, from 1990 to 1996, and went on to complete her A-levels at Princethorpe in 1998. Her connection to Princethorpe continues as her children now attend, and Bryony was surprised and delighted to learn that her engagement with our Old Princethorpian community platform, Princethorpe Connect, resulted in her winning the Christmas Prize Draw. Upon hearing the news, she exclaimed 'I never win anything!'
Bryony told us about her long history with the Foundation:
"I'm a former pupil of both St Joseph’s and Princethorpe College, and when I saw the post on the Old Princethorpians Instagram about joining Princethorpe Connect, I thought it was such a lovely way to reconnect with old school friends and the school itself. I’m really glad I signed up - especially because I ended up winning this amazing festive hamper! I have so many great memories from my time at Princethorpe, and it’s even more special now that two of my children go there too. Every time I drive up the driveway to drop them off or pick them up, I still get that same feeling of home and happiness that I had as a pupil!"
We hope Bryony and her family enjoy tucking into the collection of tasty treats.
Huge thanks to all those who engaged with Princethorpe Connect in the run up to the prize draw. We have now exceeded 1,900 online members and look forward to breaking the 2,000 member milestone in 2026!
