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.

Omoggle
Dear Parents and Carers,
We would like to draw your attention to a new website, Omoggle (not to be confused with Omegle), which has recently been identified as a potential safeguarding concern. Omoggle is an anonymous video chat platform where users are paired with strangers and rated on their appearance using AI. Its unmoderated nature means young people may be exposed to judgement, bullying, and content that can negatively impact self-esteem and body image. Click here for more information Omoggle and the PSL Scale - a guide for parents.
Alongside this, we encourage you to visit the Government’s Kids Online Safety website, which provides clear and practical advice to help support your child online. The site includes guidance on popular apps, privacy settings, and how to have effective conversations about online safety: https://kidsonlinesafety.campaign.gov.uk
If your child uses social media or online chat platforms, we recommend talking with them about safe and respectful use, and reminding them to avoid engaging with anonymous or unmoderated sites.
Kind regards,
Hayley Yates
Assistant Headteacher & Designated Safeguarding Lead
