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 that this is an opportunity for pupils to be recognised for their achievements. The winning pupil will receive a voucher, glass trophy and certificate, which will be formally presented at the ISA Annual Conference in May 2027.
More details to follow after results have been announced in February 2027.
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.
Nominations open: Friday 11 September 2026
Nominations close: Friday 8 January 2027
