About Priory School

Of the 78 parents who responded to Ofsted’s Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 83% said they would recommend Priory School to other parents. That’s a strong vote of confidence, and it’s backed up by the fact that the school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, there were 105 applications for 57 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.84. 51 of those applications were first-preference choices, and all 51 first-preference families were offered a place. On the survey, 95% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 91% said their child feels safe. 84% felt the school has high expectations for their child, and 86% agreed their child does well there. The picture is slightly more mixed on how concerns are handled — 64% agreed they are dealt with properly, while 13% disagreed — and on SEND support, 80% agreed the school gives children the support they need, though 16% strongly disagreed.
