We are excited to launch the inaugural Princethorpe Foundation Alumni Award, recognising 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:
Who’s Eligible?
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.)

Why Now?
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.
Who Can Nominate?
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.
When Can I Nominate?
Nominations open on Monday 16 June 2025 and close on Monday 8 September 2025.
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!)
What Happens Next?
After nominations close, the OP Committee, supported by Foundation staff, will review all submissions and create a shortlist based on the award criteria.
They will then select the recipient, who will be notified and formally recognised at the Princethorpe Prize Giving Ceremony in November.
We hope this award becomes a proud new tradition — celebrating the talent, generosity, and spirit that make our alumni community so special.
