We love this festive drawing by student Duncan M. for @PrincethorpeCol's Christmas Soirée 2010 – we haven’t spotted a yeti around school so far, but we’ll keep a look out! Wishing you all a very happy Christmas, and we look forward to bringing you more from the archives in 2025.
#OnThisDay in 1950, the schoolgirls of St Mary’s Priory enjoyed a lovely Christmas party, complete with a visit from Father Christmas himself! #EYAFestive #HBAHParties #SchoolArchive
A late nineteenth-century view of the cloister gardens (now the Quad) at St Mary's Priory, showing the Priory's first chapel in the background.
Today’s #ExploreYourArchive theme is #EYAAnimals! This stunning swan artwork was created by an Upper III pupil at St Joseph’s Convent School in 1965-66, and printed in the school magazine ‘Peeper’s Pie’ of that year. #SchoolArchive @CrackleyHallSch
A powerful reminder of the importance of #Remembrance from the St Mary’s Priory school magazine ‘Peeps of Princethorpe’. Dr Dawes, who had lost his own son in the war, unveiled the Princethorpe War Memorial on 18 September 1922. #ArmisticeDay #EYARemembrance
On a grey November day, what better way to brighten things up than some lovely fingerpaint artwork from the archives! These beautiful pictures were created by the budding artists in @CrackleyHallSch’s J2 class, September 2013. #SchoolArchive
Topsy and Turvy, the @CrescentSchRug teddy bears, certainly got up to some adventures over the years! Here they are in the early 2000s enjoying the school trip to Slapton Ley in Devon. #SchoolArchive
Happy #WorldTeachersDay! A huge thank you to all our wonderful teachers past and present at @PrincethorpeCol, @CrackleyHallSch and @CrescentSchRug. 📷 New staff at Princethorpe College, Princethorpe Magazine 1974.

What a fun-filled weekend we had! A lovely St Mary’s Priory Old Girls reunion where many memories were shared, then a busy @heritageopenday where we welcomed over 90 visitors to @PrincethorpeCol. Always a pleasure to share our history with familiar faces and new visitors alike!
We are very much looking forward to welcoming our 'Very Special Old Princethorpians' – the alumnae of St Mary’s Priory - back for their annual reunion this Saturday. This year is also a particularly special one, as it marks the centenary of the Old Girls' Association!

On #InternationalDogDay we couldn’t resist sharing a photo of the lovely Bertie! Bertie was the faithful companion of Father James (Seamus) McManus MSC, who was Headmaster of St Bede’s College 1966-1972 and later Deputy Head at @PrincethorpeCol.
How did a community of Benedictine nuns make @PrincethorpeCol the place it is today? Join us on a #HeritageOpenDays tour of our beautiful school, and discover the story of a remarkable journey from revolutionary France to rural Warwickshire. #EYAJourneys heritageopendays.org.uk/submission-eve…
What better way to mark #AfternoonTeaWeek than with an exploding teapot?! This beautiful (if somewhat unusual!) illustration, dating from the early 1900s, is from our wonderful collection of school drama programmes. Discover more at archives.princethorpe.co.uk/galleries
One month to go till our #HeritageOpenDays event! This year’s theme is Routes, Networks and Connections – join our tour to discover the story of the nuns who founded St Mary’s Priory in 1833, and their route to Princethorpe from revolutionary France. heritageopendays.org.uk/submission-eve…
