Message from the Head Teacher

Welcome to Priory Woods School and Arts College website. We hope that by looking at it, you get a flavour of life in our wonderful school for children and young people with a wide range of special educational needs from the age of four to nineteen.

At Priory Woods, we aim to support all of our children and young people to achieve the best that they can through a varied, exciting, dynamic and challenging curriculum in a safe and stimulating environment, both within and outside of school. This is achieved with the dedication of a large school team as well as colleagues in other agencies. As an arts college, we focus on exploiting the arts in all its forms to provide opportunities to develop skills and enrich lives.

We recognise that we cannot succeed in our aims alone and value and respect ongoing cooperation with families and other agencies. Our school is a community where everyone is valued and respected, where we have a shared commitment to providing the best learning opportunities possible. We have the highest expectations and aspirations for all of our learners and continually seek to develop to ensure that these are realised.

Please enjoy browsing our website and do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further information.

Kindest Regards,

Janis French
