Our Team

At the Priory School we have a fantastic team in place to educate, support and guide our students.

Senior leadership, heads of year, teachers and teaching assistants all work together to help our students progress and thrive, and we do this with wisdom, hope, dignity and community.

We are very proud to have a team of teachers who truly believe in our approach. Each and every one brings a wealth of academic experience to our school, and they do so with a solid foundation in the pastoral care. Together, we educate our students for life in all its fullness.

Chaplaincy

As a Church of England school, we are proud to have a chaplaincy team at The Priory School. This team provides spiritual and pastoral support to everyone in the school, including students, parents, staff and alumni. We currently have three chaplains; a Baptist minister (Rev’d Rob Stevens), a local Vicar (Rev’d Peter Nevins, our Chair of Governors) and an experienced church youth worker (Steve Henwood, St Paul’s, Dorking). The chaplaincy team work in partnership with school staff, local churches and the local community to contribute to the spiritual development and pastoral care of our whole school community. Alongside this there is a programme of lunchtime activities, special events and courses throughout the year, and all students are invited to participate. The unifying focus across all we do is to enable our whole school community to live life in its fullness with Christ, all the time seeking to growing in and live with wisdom, hope, dignity and community.
