Welcome to Priors Hall – A Learning Community.

I am very proud to work alongside a highly skilled and dedicated team of teachers and support staff as the Headteacher of Priors Hall – A Learning Community.  The school is a two-form entry primary with an integrated nursery situated in the heart of the Priors Hall community. We place great emphasis on the service we provide our local community and see this as an integral part of our partnership with our children and families.

The staff at Priors Hall - ALC have high expectations of all children and would like them to leave school as confident, polite and independent young people, with the appropriate skills, values and learning to become successful in whatever their eventual career paths will be.

Our school is dedicated to providing a world-class education for every pupil in a stimulating and safe environment. We follow a literacy-rich curriculum, centred around a text, which is linked to our termly themes. We aim to link the Humanities, Sciences and Arts subjects within these themes, following the recommendations of the new National Curriculum.  To make learning exciting and engaging, we include lots of skills-based learning within our lessons.

We are committed to all aspects of education and development, encouraging families to work in partnership with us to realise our aim, of successfully helping each child to achieve their full potential.

We are very proud of the children who attend Priors Hall - ALC and all of their achievements!

We hope our website below provides you with the information you require. You are always welcome to arrange a visit and the pupils would be delighted to show you what makes Priors Hall – ALC such an exceptional school.
