Aims of Priory School

At Priory School we believe that every child is entitled to a happy, secure and supportive learning environment. Pupils should be considered as individuals both in, and out of the classroom and respected for the fervent, innovative inspirational characters that they are.
From the moment pupils arrive at Priory, we not only support their academic needs but also guide them with regards to the important social, moral, cultural and ethical aspects of life, which will not only benefit them in the present, but will also prove advantageous in their teenage and adult years.

Self-confidence, self-motivation, self-discipline and self-esteem are all concepts that we promote unremittingly at Priory. By affording students the opportunity to participate in classroom presentations, school assemblies, end-of-term performances, internal and external examinations and competitions and subsequently extolling and commending them on their achievements, pupils are enabled to feel a sense of worth and accomplishment, which ultimately incites them to strive for ulterior success. We apprise each individual in order to furnish him/her with the proficiency, conviction and education for a successful adult life, both in the work place and as a social being.

Our convivial atmosphere, our sense of pride and respect and our academic devotion enables all attendees to acquire a feeling of belonging in our community and in the wider social circle, as well as an awareness that he/she can realise his/her potential.
A respect for one's peers, parents and the authoritative members of the school is fostered throughout the school life enabling each pupil to amalgamate effortlessly into his/her new environment as he/she matures.

Numerous days are organised throughout the school year to afford pupils with information affiliated to 'working' environments, for example, within the police force, the ambulance service, hotel industry, car industry, shop industry and volunteer/charity institutions such as POTS. This not only provides pupils with a rationale as to why education is so important but also administers to each individual the opportunity to ascertain what is expected in a companionable/working environment.
