"Some Issues with Communication"

My daughter has been at The Priory School for a few years now and while I'm generally happy with the education she's receiving, there have been some issues with communication between the school and parents. I wish they would keep us more informed about upcoming events and deadlines.

"Happy with the School So Far"

My son has just started at The Priory School and we're happy with the school so far. I like that the school has a range of facilities for hire available to external organisations and groups. The staff have been friendly and helpful during the transition process.

"Outstanding Learning Environment"

My son graduated from The Priory School a few years ago and I'm still in awe of the outstanding learning environment he experienced. The school's aim to raise students' aspirations and promote academic achievement is something that really stood out to me. I've recommended the school to many friends and family members since.
