Determination

Lily
Lily is a prime example of determination and ambition, driven by her long-held dream of becoming a veterinarian. At St Augustine’s Priory, her passion for animals shone through in her active role in the Priory Farm School Farming Community. Her natural affinity with animals, combined with strong academic drive, made her a standout student.
Lily’s hard work earned her four university offers for veterinary medicine and a fifth offer for biovet science; incredibly competitive fields. After careful consideration, she chose to study at the University of Nottingham, where she is now in the final years of her veterinary studies.
Beyond academics, Lily demonstrated leadership as Deputy Head Girl for the Preps & Pre-Preps (Academic), offering guidance to younger students and fostering a sense of community. She was also nominated for the "Student Farmer of the Year Award" in Year 9, where she earned the Runner-up Award.
Her time at St Augustine’s Priory left a lasting impact, both in and outside the classroom. Lily’s journey is a testament to the power of determination, passion, and perseverance—proof that dreams can become reality through hard work and commitment. She remains an inspiration to future students.
