It is truly humbling to be the headteacher of Telford Priory School. To work with our community, our parents, our staff and our children is the most wonderful challenge and one I embrace fully every day. I am confident that I can say the same for all the staff.

Our ambition for Telford Priory is to create a school community which recognises excellence and reaches for it in everything we do. We are all individuals with our own strengths, passions and talents and these must be nurtured to allow us to fulfil our potential for ourselves, our families and society as a whole. These are lofty ambitions but not only are our children worth it, we can do it.

The value of education is immeasurable. We are a sum of our experiences and the more we learn, the bigger and better we are. The learning experience lies at the heart of the school’s aims, and we want to not only build knowledge but give children the skills to apply it today, tomorrow and forever. Linking their learning will give them the context to know who they are and who they want to be.

Our commitment to young people and to parents is to strive for the best for the whole community and to allow all individuals to be able to grow as learners and people in their time with us.
