Priory is certainly the place people want to be – we are proud to say we are full again!

Earlier this month, we received our numbers for our September 2026 starters and we are oversubscribed again – in fact we have been asked to take an extra six pupils so our total is 155.

We know our school is innovative, forward-thinking and an amazing place to be and it’s superb so many of our community agree with us!

From our state-of-the-art buildings, award-winning gardens and our groundbreaking self-service dining experience to now becoming only the second school in England to sign up to the Junior Darts Corporation, we are certainly leading the way.

Head of Year 7 and transition Mrs Farley said: “It’s amazing news to be over-subscribed again.

“When we have our open evening, or attend primary schools, I think the resounding conclusion is that Priory feels friendly and welcoming which is why so many pupils want to come here and so many parents want their children to come to us.

“Added to that are our excellent GCSE results and the fact that staff go the extra mile for pupils, it’s made us extremely popular.

“Over the years, we have built up such a strong reputation in our community which we are very proud of.

“We also never stop, we have high expectations of everyone in our school community; we keep up with all the evolving changes in education, and we aspire to be even better!”
