Priory School is a school where pupils are well cared for. Some pupils are non-verbal, but this does not stop them from communicating their wishes and desires, or from interacting with their friends. Pupils appreciate the care and support that staff give them. This helps them to feel safe and secure in school. They also appreciate the wider opportunities the school provides, such as horse riding, outdoor learning and swimming. These experiences enhance pupils’ enjoyment of school. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. However, in some subjects, including English, lessons do not provide pupils with the best help or chance to learn. Parents and carers agree that their children enjoy coming to school. They comment that the school is making a positive difference to their child’s life. Pupils behave well. Skilled staff support any pupil who struggles so they can get back to learning. Pupils are confident that adults will quickly sort out any concerns about unkind behaviour or bullying. Pupils experience a wide range of therapies appropriate to their needs. Therapy is threaded through pupils’ timetables and is integral to their educational success.
