The Priory is a unique school. It is beautifully situated and our children are a pleasure to be with. There are many aspects of the school which, combined together, make the school what it is today. Firstly, of course, there are the children.
The children join the school with a variety of previous experiences; we have no expectations about prior attainment and we are not selective. We simply work with the children at their individual stages of development. There are many systems that support the formation of good attitudes to learning and encourage high standards of behaviour.
However, perhaps the most important aspect of a child's development is the happy atmosphere that pervades the entire school. Children actively want to come to school, they enjoy being with their friends and teachers and they love to learn.
