Welcome from the Headteacher

Welcome to Priestlands!

We are very proud of our school and have a thriving and supportive community. Our curriculum is rich, varied and challenging, designed to equip each student with the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful and fulfilling adult life.

Our school motto; Learn More… Do More… Be more… is at the heart of all we do. 

We believe all children are capable of making excellent progress and Priestlands has a strong academic record. Our dedicated staff take the time to know each student in a fostering and nurturing environment where learning is engaging, behaviour is positive, and everyone feels safe and valued. With a fantastic array of extra curricular opportunities, trips and competitions, there’s something for every student to explore and enjoy.

AI chatbots are becoming part of everyday life for many young people. As parents and carers, it’s important to understand how these tools work and how to support children in using them safely and responsibly.

Internet Matters has created a helpful guide that explores the benefits and risks of AI chatbots, along with practical tips for safeguarding children online. The resource also includes a webinar that you can watch to hear expert insights and advice.

Explore the guide and watch the webinar here: Me, Myself & AI: Chatbot research | Internet Matters
