At The Priory School all teachers and support staff believe that every child has the right and ability to succeed.  To embed our students' learning, we need to ensure that we have strong partnerships with parents and carers.  By sharing the same educational goals and working collaboratively together, we are able to lay the foundations for their future success.  In 2017 Ofsted identified that we were a 'good' school where 'pupils feel they belong, regardless of race, religion or sexuality.'   Our students feel valued and safe because we have created a learning environment which promotes high expectations, aspirations and academic achievement. New colleagues will be provided with the right balance of support, challenge and stimulation for both job satisfaction and career development.
