Explore The Priory School values

The Priory School is a unique and vibrant community. We have dedicated, and caring staff who work tirelessly to encourage our pupils to be independent and resilient. 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.

However, your child will gain so much more than this from their time with us. Our House System and wider curriculum will allow them to explore and experience new opportunities; nurturing the whole person. We deliberately place ‘Selfless’ before all else; we truly believe if you develop this, the rest will follow.
