Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils here are 'proud to be Priory', just as the school intends. As they dash through the gates at the start of the day, pupils are full of enthusiasm for their time in school. They know that the school is ambitious for them to achieve their best, both academically and in a more rounded sense. As a result, they put their best efforts into learning. This is evident from the high standards pupils achieve by the end of key stage 2, and from the contribution pupils make to school life. Through the 'pupil parliament' and its ministries, pupils take responsibility for areas such as environmental issues.
In class and around the school, pupils are polite and respectful. Having come up with their own playground 'charter', pupils share the space thoughtfully. 'Make a difference' days help pupils to explore themes like anti-bullying. This gives them confidence that staff will help them if they have any worries.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Pupils' learning goes beyond what would typically be expected for their age. The curriculum introduces them to thought-provoking and complex ideas. For example, pupils in Year 5 explore the theme of deception in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. As part of their learning in modern foreign languages, pupils write to pen-pals in France. At each stage, teachers build pupils' understanding in a clear sequence. Pupils revisit important ideas to help make connections and comparisons. For example, they can identify similarities and differences between religions. This means that over time, pupils develop a deep understanding of what they have learnt. Disadvantaged pupils, although few in number, learn exceptionally well throughout the curriculum.
Teachers are highly skilled in their delivery of the curriculum. They set tasks that inspire pupils to extend and apply their learning. 'Knowledge catchers' give teachers a clear picture of what their pupils know and should learn next. Staff are quick to identify the needs of pupils with SEND. Where necessary, they adapt the work set so that all pupils can access the full extent of learning on offer.
