At The Priory School, we work closely in partnership with parents/carers regarding your child’s academic progress, pastoral care and social/emotional support.

We have a dedicated Student Support Team, which works closely with the SENDCo as part of the school’s Support Hub.  The Student Support Team can offer advice and signpost students and parents/carers to a range of support.  We also provide support to students through school counsellors, Smashlife Mentoring, our Teenage Health Advisor and SPECTRA.  We liaise closely with a broad range of other professionals and services to access bespoke support when a need is identified.

The following pages provide specific information and support across a range of areas, with links to useful websites and guidance.  If you cannot find what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us for further advice.

Your first point of contact as a parent/carer will be your child’s form tutor, who can then signpost you to the most appropriate member of staff. You can reach your child’s tutor at pri-info@pri.318education.co.uk
