The Priory

Welcome to The Priory. We are housed in an impressive Victorian building which has been substantially added to at various intervals, most recently during 2004’s £500,000 refurbishment programme. 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, 14, and Joshua, 12. Indeed, Jack is now a day boy in the house and Joshua will join him in a year’s time. 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.
