Priory Primary School

Priory Primary School aims to provide a safe, happy and secure environment where every child achieves their full potential. We aim for enthusiastic learners through providing a stimulating and challenging curriculum. Team work between all stakeholders – children, staff, parents, governors – is at the heart of the school and we celebrate both achievements and successes. Our consistent positive approach to learning and teaching engages children and promotes lifelong learning.’  

We are an expanding primary school in the west of the city. We are popular and always oversubscribed. Following a significant expansion and building programme, which will be completed in September 2016, we will have enough space for 420 children at Priory Primary School.
