"Great values and teaching"
We chose Priory Academy because of their emphasis on cooperative values and commitment to pastoral care. Our son has really thrived in the school, especially with the house system and charity work.

"Mixed experience"
My child attended Priory Academy a few years ago and had a good experience. However, I did notice that the school could do more to engage with parents. The teaching was generally good, but my child felt that some subjects were lacking in depth.
