"Mixed Feelings"

Priory Rise School has some excellent aspects, such as the wrap-around care and the school meals. However, we've experienced some communication breakdowns with the teachers and the administration. We're hoping these issues are addressed to improve our overall experience.

"A Great School with Opportunities"

We moved to a different area and our child was sad to leave Priory Rise School. However, we were impressed by the school's support and guidance in helping our child settle into a new school. We also appreciate the school's focus on developing the whole child.
