School Description

Most pupils who attend The Telford Priory School are happy and enjoy their lessons. Teachers build positive relationships with pupils and want the best for them. Over the last few years, leaders have established a clearer set of expectations for both staff and pupils alike. Pupils usually behave well. In lessons and corridors there is a calm and purposeful environment. At social times, pupils play together sensibly. However, not all staff deal with behaviour incidents in a consistent way. Some pupils, parents and carers say that they do not have confidence in staff to deal with bullying incidents effectively. Leaders have developed the school curriculum to set out the order in which topics are taught for each subject. However, there is variability in how it is taught. This does not help pupils know and remember more long term. Not enough time is given to the school’s ‘global citizenship’ curriculum for pupils’ personal development. There are many different extra-curricular clubs for pupils to participate in, including various sports, performing and visual arts clubs. A large number of pupils are also part of the school’s choir and regularly perform at local community events. The school has also recently staged a performance of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’.
