Reigate Priory Community Junior School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 June 2024

Pupils here are 'proud to be Priory', just as the school intends. As they dash through the gates at the start of the day, pupils are full of enthusiasm for their time in school. They know that the school is ambitious for them to achieve their best, both academically and in a more rounded sense. As a result, they put their best efforts into learning. This is evident from the high standards pupils achieve by the end of key stage 2, and from the contribution pupils make to school life. Through the 'pupil parliament' and its ministries, pupils take responsibility for areas such as environmental issues. In class and around the school, pupils are polite and respectful. Having come up with their own playground 'charter', pupils share the space thoughtfully. 'Make a difference' days help pupils to explore themes like anti-bullying. This gives them confidence that staff will help them if they have any worries. The school's outdoor learning programme helps pupils to develop resilience and determination. Each year group attends residential trips including to Snowdonia. Disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are fully included in these experiences. They, like their peers, flourish because of what the school provides for them.
