Information about the school

Priory Infant School is a two-form entry school in the heart of the seaside town of Ramsgate. Built 30 years ago, the school features six spacious classrooms and an extension that provides additional SEND and small-group rooms. We are fortunate to have extensive outdoor space, including a dedicated wildlife area with a pond and a thriving vegetable plot.

We are proud to be a school that embraces the Thrive Approach, using it to support the emotional and social development of all our children. This approach underpins our ethos: that every child should feel safe, understood, and ready to learn. Strong partnerships with parents and carers are central to this work and play a vital role in our school community.

Our dedicated team of staff provides a supportive, caring environment where children are encouraged to be independent, resilient, creative, and adventurous in their learning, and aspirational in their lives.

We are committed to offering a broad, exciting curriculum where success is celebrated and children are inspired by experiences that go above and beyond the National Curriculum. Our aim is for every child at Priory to be happy, enthusiastic, and given the very best start to their school journey.

The school serves a mixed catchment area, resulting in a wonderfully diverse cohort. Around 17% of our pupils receive SEND support during their time with us, and approximately 50% are eligible for Pupil Premium funding.

During our most recent visit from HMI in June 2023, it was recognised that “Pupils are happy to come to this friendly school where everyone is made to feel welcome and included.” We encourage you to read our full Ofsted report, available on our school website.

If you are ready to embrace new challenges and are undeterred by hard work, we would love you to join our fantastic team. Priory is a small school with a big heart. The friendly atmosphere here is truly palpable, and we warmly invite you to come and feel it for yourself.
