Exam Results

Our examination results continue to be a celebration for all, with outcomes enabling our pupils to open doors to their future opportunities as they move on from Priory. The results of many individuals continue to shine, with their hard work and commitment rewarded with outstanding grades. The results clearly reflect the effort put in by all involved.

Congratulations then to all our students. We all know how hard it can be at times, but also know how hard they have worked. They should be very proud.

Regardless of results though, we recognise our leavers as precious and unique individuals. Results can only ever part of a bigger picture. While they provide a platform from which our young people can now embark on the next stage of their lives, they do not define them or their future successes. These outcomes though, will ensure our students can leave Priory, equipped with the right skills and attitudes to help them succeed in life, contribute positively to society, and go on to further education, employment or training.

We ask them never to forget the contributions they have made to Priory, whether that be in the classroom, on the sports pitch, on stage, fundraising or in extra-curricular activities.

We ask them to remember too, their entire time with us, their accomplishments throughout that time and how they have developed in so many different ways. Their health, happiness, their ability to work with others. We hope they have felt supported in developing not only academically, but also pastorally, where their all-round personal abilities have been cared for, encouraged and nurtured, allowing them to leave Priory as fully engaged, caring and contributing members of our society.

We feel proud, as adults in the school, to have been a part of our young peoples’ lives, their achievements and, based on their individual abilities and resilience, proud of the unique accomplishments each of them has made.

Finally, a reminder that all our students, whatever their exam results, are all exceptional, inspiring and talented young people, and we couldn’t be prouder of them.
