What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 June 2025

Pupils thrive at Priory Rise school, where relationships based on mutual respect are at its heart. This helps to develop a deep sense of belonging in pupils, driven by the school's central value of love. The school has very high expectations of pupils, who strive to meet them. Pupils achieve exceptionally well. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They focus on their learning for sustained periods of time. Pupils consistently show kindness and consideration towards each other and staff. From the time they start in Nursery, children are taught how to focus on their learning and think flexibly. They ask for help if they have any worries. Skilled staff ensure that pupils think about the feelings behind their behaviour so that they can self-manage effectively. Consequently, pupils feel safe and very happy. Pupils embrace roles of responsibility and make meaningful contributions to the school community, for example, by becoming restorative leaders or school councillors. Pupils are proud of their roles because they understand the value of helping others. Pupils know that their views contribute to making their school a better place. They share their thoughts and opinions with staff to bring about change, such as raising awareness of sustainability around the school and local community.
