THE PRIORY school in Orpington has welcomed its latest Ofsted report as “pleasing”.
The school, in Tintagel Road, Orpington, was told it had continued to improve since its last inspection, and the majority of its pupils had a good attitude to learning.
The report also recognised the good quality of teaching at the school.
However, the government inspection did identify areas where the school could do better, highlighting its need to improve standards of literacy and numeracy in Years 7 to 9.
Headteacher Nick Ware said: “We are very pleased with the report, whilst at the time recognising there are a few areas for improvement.”
