About Priory Junior School

Priory Junior School in Gedling is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and its headline academic metrics sit noticeably below the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 52% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Nottinghamshire average of 61% for primary schools. That gap of nine percentage points places the school in the bottom half of all primaries in the county, ranking 164th out of 286. Its national percentile of roughly 75 means it sits just above the bottom quarter of schools across England. The school’s ranking within Gedling itself is 29th out of 32, putting it in the bottom 10% of its immediate borough. For parents weighing up local options, these figures suggest Priory Junior is not a high-performing choice on raw attainment, though the context of its intake — with 31.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals — is worth bearing in mind.
