The Lexden Prize, named in honour of our Honorary President, Lord Lexden, celebrates the most remarkable sixth form students at ISA members' schools. Their achievements can be in any aspect of school or community life, and do not have to be academic.
Please note this is an online opportunity for pupils to be recognised for their achievements, with a certificate, trophy, and voucher awarded.
All ISA Members' schools are invited to nominate one student for the prize. Nominations must be made by a member of school staff, and include a short nomination statement, and a personal statement by the nominee.
Open for entries: Monday 5 January 2026
Deadline for entries: Friday 22 May 2026
Please note that nominations are now closed. We will contact all schools after the judging process has been completed.
