A very warm welcome to The Priory School. I hope our website gives you a clear insight into our core values and a flavour of the excellent, holistic education that our student body receive.
The Priory School is a unique and vibrant community which epitomises all that can be achieved through a dedicated, and caring staff working tirelessly to encourage an independent and resilient student body. As soon as you enter the building you notice a very special, mutual respect between staff and students.
Our size allows us to know every student as an individual but also gives us the flexibility to provide a high quality learning experience. Our core values are encapsulated within the school's message to our students to always endeavour to be Selfless, Self-assured and Successful.
Naturally there is a focus upon academic success to ensure that each individual fulfils their true potential. We are traditional in our expectations of students in terms of behaviour and conduct but we never lose sight of innovation in the classroom. We endeavour to ensure lessons are dynamic, and exciting to capture and captivate young people's interest and love of learning.
