60% agreePriory Academy's last overall grade from Ofsted was Good, on 13 June 2017. Ofsted inspected it again on 19 April 2023 without giving a new overall grade.
No. Distance only counts when Priory Academy has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
Priory Academy had 791 pupils aged 9 to 16 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 700. It is a mixed school with no sixth form, so students move on at 16.
