The Priory

Welcome to The Priory. We are housed in an impressive Victorian building which has been substantially added to at various intervals, and was most recently refurbished in 2010, following on from 2004's £500,000 redevelopment. This created a modern boarding environment, while preserving the charm and character of the original structure.

I, together with my wife, Sarah, have been looking after boys in The Priory since September 2001 and it has also been a home to our two sons: Jack, 19, and Josh, 17, who is an upper sixth day boy in the house. We run The Priory very much as an extension of our own family home and it is our firm belief that the boys here enjoy the sort of happy, secure environment which prompts the development of confident, well-rounded and, ultimately, successful young men.
