Located in Thurston, Priory Aspire provides a nurturing environment with a limited number of just 10 places, ensuring personalised attention and effective support. All students attending Priory Aspire are enrolled with Priory School, benefiting from its specialist educational resources and dedicated staff.

What we strive for
Our vision is to develop well-rounded individuals who can go forward into their adult lives prepared for the work environment and capable of being independent and productive citizens.
We believe that high quality education is best achieved when the needs of each individual pupil – social, emotional, spiritual and educational – are paramount. Through focusing on pupils as individuals, we tailor challenging and enjoyable educational programmes to directly meet their needs.
We work with each student and their parents and carers to understand, and work to overcome, their particular barriers to learning so they can achieve their full potential within a secure and caring environment.
