On arrival, our school’s picturesque setting, overlooking the historic
Priory Church, greets you with a remarkable charm. Here you will find our
school an exciting place, where traditional values are combined with the latest
technology to deliver a very effective and modern curriculum.
We are an outward looking, successful
school that has served our local community for over 100 years. Relentless in
our pursuit of excellence, our school has developed rapidly from a popular
middle to an extended secondary school (9-16 years).
In recent years our school has gone from
strength to strength. Our teachers are dedicated and committed to engaging,
supporting and challenging our students to achieve in all aspects of life. Our
vibrant curriculum combined with excellent teaching has resulted in our
children achieving not only very high KS2 SATs results, but outstanding GCSE
results in our very first year in the summer of 2017.
Our Key Stage 2 joins seamlessly with our
Key Stage 3 and 4 curriculum and builds on the successes of our colleagues at
our partner schools (Dunstable Icknield, Watling and Studham Lower Schools). It
is a combination of all these elements that fashions our high standards at
GCSE.
Having been judged as ‘Good with
outstanding features’ by Ofsted in June 2017, I was delighted that the
inspectors recognised our aspirational vision for the school and our
determination to ensure that all our pupils excel. In addition, they commented
that “leaders and teachers have developed a culture in which pupils expect and
want to be challenged.”
We enjoy a close-knit community, where we
pride ourselves on providing high quality education and individualised care.
Following the ‘values-based’ education philosophy, we promote and nurture our
students to have a strong sense of social responsibility, ready for the wider
world.
Quotes from our Ofsted inspection June 2017
“The behaviour of pupils is outstanding. Because leaders and
teachers consistently celebrate the good work of pupils, and because pupils
know they are well taught, pupils want to do well.” Ofsted 2017
“The school’s work to promote pupils’ personal development
and welfare is outstanding.” Ofsted 2017
Priory Academy is a safe, caring
and happy school where students learn to show kindness, respect and
consideration towards each other and the environment.
We seek to promote a
well-ordered community by setting high expectations of good behaviour,
appearance and attendance, with students being prepared to take responsibility
for themselves and their actions.
