Our extensive extracurricular programme and school trips further enhance learning, ensuring students have the chance to develop new skills, form friendships, and make lifelong memories.
The Priestlands Path to Progress
Our teaching and learning approach is rooted in the "Growth Mindset" philosophy, which encourages students to embrace challenges, take risks in their learning, and strive for continuous improvement. We believe that the more students learn and experience, the more they grow—and our happiest, most successful students are those who fully engage with all that Priestlands has to offer.
A supportive & ambitious community
At Priestlands, we set high expectations for all our students, not just in their academic work but in their personal growth and contributions to school life. We are proud of our strong sense of community, where students, parents, and staff work together to create a positive and nurturing atmosphere. Whether through academic achievement, sporting success, or creative expression, we encourage all students to develop their talents and aspirations.
