After a successful launch last year, the Princethorpe Foundation Alumni Award returns for 2026 — and nominations are now open. The Princethorpe Foundation Alumni Award recognises exceptional former pupils from across all our Foundation schools who have made a real difference — in their careers, their communities, or through their continued support of the College and the wider Foundation.
Each year, this award will celebrate alumni who embody the very best of what it means to be a Princethorpian — those who have reached the heights of their profession, gone above and beyond for others, or shown unwavering commitment to giving back.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Nominations are open to former pupils of Princethorpe College, Crackley Hall, Crescent School, and our heritage schools: St Joseph’s Convent School, Abbotsford, St Bede’s College, and St Mary’s Priory.
Nominees must be aged 18 or over at the time of nomination.
(Please note: former Crackley Hall or Crescent School pupils still in secondary education are not yet eligible.)
We want to hear about alumni who:
Our alumni community is full of individuals quietly doing extraordinary things. This award offers the chance to shine a spotlight on their achievements — and to inspire today’s pupils with powerful stories of what’s possible beyond the classroom.
All members of the Princethorpe Foundation community — alumni, staff, pupils, parents, and friends — can submit a nomination, whether for themselves or someone else, as long as the nominee is a former pupil.
Nominations open on Friday 15 May 2026 and close on Monday 31 August 2026.
Simply click the button below during the nomination period to complete a short, easy form. Be sure to click Submit Nomination at the end, and you’ll receive a confirmation message once your form has been successfully submitted.
(Remember, you can nominate yourself or someone else — as long as they’re a former pupil!)
After nominations close, the Alumni and Development team will review all submissions and create a shortlist based on the award criteria.
The OP Committee will then review the shortlist and cast votes for the winner. The nominee that receives the most votes will be notified and formally recognised as the recipient of the Alumni Award at the Princethorpe Prize Giving Ceremony in November.
We hope this award becomes a proud tradition — celebrating the talent, generosity, and spirit that make our alumni community so special.
