Congratulations to Amy Gordon (Crackley Hall 2004-2013 and Princethorpe Class of 2020) who was our Easter Princethorpe Connect Prize Draw winner.

The seasonal prize draws are a lovely way to encourage our OP community to connect with each other and the Foundation through our dedicated online platform for Old Princethorpians, Princethorpe Connect.

Amy was the surprised and delighted recipient of an indulgent Chocolate Lover's Hamper by Regency Hampers this Easter. Her name was randomly selected from amongst those who had signed up to or engaged with Princethorpe Connect throughout March. 

Comments Amy, "Thank you so much for the Easter hamper and for sending it to London - it was such a lovely surprise. I've actually got a small supper club in Clapham with three other Old Princethorpians, Alys Hemmings (Class of 2020), Katie Shorten (Class of 2020) and Paddy Parfitt (Class of 2018), so I was able to share it with them!

Since leaving Princethorpe in 2020, I went on to study BA (Hons) Events Management at Oxford Brookes University, and I’m now working as a High Impact Events Manager at Dogs Trust in their London head office. I honestly don’t think I would have pursued a career in events if it wasn't for being Social Prefect at Princethorpe; organising the Sixth Form Winter Ball was definitely a turning point for me!"

It was great to catch up with Amy and hear her news (she is pictured here on the left of the image, posing with Alys with whom she shared the hamper). You can read about the wider 2020 cohort in the OP Updates section of the termly newsletter, The Old Princethorpian, as a large number of the year group, including Amy, reunited in Leamington Spa recently for a reunion organised by OP Dominic Turner-Burr. We love to hear of OPs staying in touch and keeping Princethorpe's spirit of family alive!

Keep a look out on our OPs social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) for the Summer Princethorpe Connect Prize Draw which will launch soon. You've got to be in it to win it!
