Priory School

mold everywhere, unclean, and overall horrible place. you’d get sick in a few days from the grime of this place. toilets leak all the time having to stand in toilet water, cameras everywhere watching your every move. teachers are genuinely rude and need actual training. teacher also stole someone’s speaker, took it away for a “random stop and search” and never gave it back just don’t go here

maybe an OK-ish school if the student never has any mental health problems or needs any extra support ever. they swept every issue under the carpet when I was struggling and I never met the SENCO. they care more about if you wear a small necklace and want to wear a coat in an outdoor PE lesson in January weather the medical care is awful, they might tell you to drink some water and see how you feel in 10 minutes at best constant ableism and transphobia from the students (and some teachers) and nobody would anything about it apart from maybe a 15 minute assembly in the morning that nobody paid any attention to the classrooms are either stuffy or freezing cold the maths department is especially bad. most of the maths teachers don’t know how to keep a class under control and they spend about half an hour on the starter question it does have a good art and DT department, and a nice library in conclusion I would never recommend the school overall

bad school, if i could rate it 0 i would. the teachers don’t care about you they only care about the uniform, someone tried to commit in school because how bad it is

I’ve had an okay experience here. Many rules unneeded but it is an okay school, I got what I needed.

A head that is too important to respond to your morning greetings. A mad ranting and raving, bespectacled PE teacher that is upset because he did not get his promotion and will shout at you infront of students because you did not know about a bell that sounds once a month! Unqualified support staff belittle you to the students in front of your very eyes and play the old denigrate to elevate game unfettered. Departmental members who use low level bullying tactics such as making loud and perogative remarks destined for yours ears to outsiders and then regard themselves as a happy dept! Yes, Gandalf you know who you are! Co-colleagues backing the manipulative accusations of highly strung teens and their parents. Year 9s and above gang up on their teachers with senior mgnt nowhere to be seen.This is a school low on professionalism, collegiality and a very poor grip on behaviour. A sniffy establishment that I would not return to even if you quintrupled my pay. The good vibes end beyond the wonderful reception staff.

The school cares more about is you are wearing jewellery and incorrect uniform than mental health and actually teaching.

ruined my mental health, uniform is uncomfortable, teachers are unhelpful and i taught myself most of what i know. would never send my kids here in future

When I joined in 2015, Priory was a good school. There were a large amount of great teachers who actually enjoyed what they were doing, the uniform was smart and comfy(as comfy as uniform can be) and I overall enjoyed myself. However as the years went by, the school lost the majority of its good teachers, the uniform situation (trousers) was a mess (the changing of policies etc) and the staff cared more about what we wore than our education. I’m very glad to have left and would not recommend unfortunately.

Very few teachers can teach their subject. The maths department is particularly bad. The head teacher cares more about uniform than anything else and you can’t wear jumpers in winter, even when it’s negative temperatures outside. Do not recommend.

tw// I was bullied so bad I dropped out, a teacher once told me to stop reporting sexual harassment because my time in the office writing reports made me miss too much class time. The whole ordeal gave me severe anxiety, depression and ptsd, and I tried to end my life.
