Headteacher’s Welcome

Priory School is a fantastic place to work and learn. We are a thriving, vibrant and energetic community demonstrating a common purpose – to ensure the very best for each and every one of our students. We are a school with a distinct ethos that recognises every student has their own individual strengths, gifts and talents; our aim is to ensure that these are all developed to their full potential. We look for excellence in all aspects of learning.  I hope you find our website informative and gain a real insight into the amazing experiences and successes of our students.

I believe Priory School is a truly excellent school; it is a place where staff are committed and proud to work, a place which Governors and parents, carers and guardians are proud to support and a school to which students are proud to belong.

We lead and innovate to make learning challenging and distinctive. The
relationships between teachers, students, parents and guardians are fundamental
to the success of the school. Working together we ensure that students enjoy
their time at Priory, make progress above the national average and leave us as
responsible, well-qualified, mature young people; ready to make a valued
contribution to society. Providing top quality teaching and learning, in order
that all students can improve their academic and personal outcomes and achieve
their full potential, remains at the heart of all that we do.

We are committed to enabling all our young people to develop into happy, tolerant and confident adults; treating others like they would wish to be treated themselves. Our school community is friendly, but disciplined with our students understanding the value of hard work as the backbone of achieving success whilst embracing all that is best in respect of the new technologies.

This is a successful school where we aspire for everyone to improve on their personal best with a relentless pursuit of excellence. We never rest on our laurels, but look for new opportunities so that we continue to inspire confident and independent learners who are equipped for, and will thrive in, a changing world.

I trust that during your visit to our website you find much to illustrate the depth of opportunity that exists at this Priory. If you are a prospective parent, we would like to invite you to visit our school to form your own judgement. Please contact us at priory@priorysouthsea.org and  will be happy to arrange this for you.

Thank you for your interest in our school.
