The Priory School

The English Department at The Priory School aims to offer all students a range of experiences, designed both to improve their control of English in its written and spoken forms and to understand more about human life, through the study and enjoyment of literature. This is at the heart of our work. We aim to empower young people with the knowledge and skills they need to make sense of the complex and ever-changing texts they meet beyond school. The department is well-equipped, with DVD and an interactive whiteboard in every room. We also make increasing use of ICT through the school's network as well as the two banks of laptops that we have in the department. Our staff are well-qualified and experienced. We are committed to providing the best possible learning experience for our students through new initiatives and approaches.
