Academic

St John’s Priory prides itself on being a non-selective school which achieves high academic standards. We establish firm academic foundations whilst simultaneously inspiring intellectual curiosity and a zest for learning. Our expectations are high and through positive encouragement and excellent teaching, children achieve their full potential both academically and socially. We provide the expertise and resources to support children with all levels of intellectual ability or with specific talents offering a personalised approach to every child’s education.

We believe in developing every child’s skills and qualities in small classes where teachers have the time to recognise and nurture individual skills. The small size of our classes coupled with the strength of teacher and pupil relationships enables our children to grow into adventurous, confident and engaged learners.

Subject specialist teaching extends beyond the arts and modern foreign languages into core subjects; English, Mathematics and Science. Specialist teaching by skilled and experienced teachers is an asset of the school, enabling us to achieve academic excellence.
