The Maxwell Prize celebrates the achievements of Year 6 children in education at the schools of ISA Members. The prize is non-academic and rewards a holistic approach to school and community life.

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 typed or filmed personal statement by the nominee. 

Well done to everyone who took part in the Maxwell Prize 2026, and congratulations to all those recognised. Please see the results below: 

Awards:
First Place: Darcey K, Steephill Independent School
Second Place: Elsie H, Boundary Oak
