Our Uniform
Our Year 7s look really smart in our red Priory School jumper with a white shirt, Priory School tie (for boys) and black trousers or skirt.
I am delighted to welcome you to The Priory School, Hitchin.
At TPSH, we are committed to empowering every child to meet their aspirations, to be self-confident, inspirational, and active members of their community whatever their background, ability, or circumstance. We achieve this by ensuring that every child at TPSH follows a rich and ambitious curriculum, is offered extensive extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities, and that they benefit from inspirational teaching, alongside dedicated pastoral care that provides a secure and caring environment.
We are incredibly proud of our students who are superb ambassadors for our school when representing us in Hitchin but also nationally, and internationally. We are proud to serve the entire community of Hitchin and as such, we have a number of exciting partnerships with local and national organisations.
At TPSH our staff are well-qualified, highly experienced, and dedicated to providing the very best education and pastoral care to every student. We all share the same values that are woven into our school’s culture: Responsibility, Respect, and Resilience.
A strong, supportive partnership between home and school is fundamental to the success of any child in education. As a parent myself, I fully appreciate that parents want to remain closely involved in their son or daughter’s education and at TPSH, we will work in partnership to ensure that we can lay strong foundations for the future successes of your child.
I hope this prospectus answers all of your questions and please do get in touch if you’d like to find out more.
