Start of Term Update From The Principal

Dear Parents and Carers,

The new academic year has started with energy, optimism, and a strong sense of pride across our school community. It is a joy to walk the corridors and see young people who are proud to be part of our community. Our pupils have returned with enthusiasm, showing kindness, ambition, and respect - qualities that reflect both your support and the values we nurture together.

We’re proud of our pupils’ excellent attendance, smart presentation, and the pride they take in wearing their uniform, house badges, and awards. These symbols reflect their effort, achievement, and sense of belonging.

Our recent GCSE results, with over 70% achieving grade 4 or above in English and in Maths, highlight our pupils dedication and the strength of our teaching. Our recent Ofsted inspection in March, remaining ‘Good’ in all four categories, confirmed our continued success across all areas, recognising the quality of learning and the vibrant culture that defines Priory.

What makes our school truly special is the daily spirit of resilience, kindness, and aspiration shown by our pupils and supported by you. Together, we continue to build a school community that values every individual and celebrates success.

Thank you for being part of it.

Mr M Eastham
Principal
