Welcome to Prior’s Mill CE Primary School. It is both a pleasure and a privilege to be Headteacher, serve the local community and represent the amazing children and families that contribute to our school. On behalf of myself, staff and governors I hope you enjoy the opportunity to find out more about Prior’s Mill and the range of opportunities we can provide for your child to fulfil their potential.
We are a large mainstream Church of England school based in Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees. Our Christian foundation is at the core of who we are and we seek to live out our Christian faith and values in all we do. The Prior’s Promise provides a distinct set of Christian values through which pupils and staff endeavour to live by both in and out of school, it is entwined within our curriculum and provides opportunity for academic, personal and spiritual growth.
Our school provides a safe, positive and encouraging environment where children feel listened to, valued and cared for. Our dedicated and enthusiastic staff team strive to provide the best possible education, outcomes and experiences for our children. We have strong partnerships with parents and carers, who we believe are vital to the education of their children, and we look forward to seeing you on many occasions to celebrate successes, discuss progress and share how you can become involved in your child’s learning journey.
We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website and that you find any information you are looking for.

Miss Gordon and her book club are thoroughly enjoying meeting each week to read and discuss their new book which was kindly donated by Drake's Bookstore. The book they are currently reading is called, The Unexpected Tale of Bastien Bon Livre.
A tale of a young boy with a big imagination ...and determined to finish the story his parents started!
Can he win the race across Paris with his three friends and get the ending he deserves?
The children are excited to finish the book and look forward to the upcoming activities Miss Gordon has planned. 📚📖
Class 11 completed experiments this afternoon to see how quickly different materials would burn. We were surprised by the results especially the pringle!
For our final Science lesson Class 12 have carried out a series of experiments to test reactions and chemical changes. They had to make predictions and ensure they carried out a fair test before explaining what reaction had took place. They thoroughly enjoyed it. 🧪🌡
Class 11 and the children who missed last week's Art lesson due to bikeability, enjoyed being able to use the clay to sculpt their own shell. We will send home the finished product when they have dried out.
Class 3 have been working independently in the Maths area. They found one more and one less than the given numbers.
In their History lesson about 'Who lived in a castle?', Class 3 were learning about the most well known monarchs in British History. They learnt facts about the kings and queens and then ordered the monarchs in chronological order. 👑
Well done to these children in Year 5 who have produced Art work based on our class book, Kensuke's Kingdom in their own time.
We have some fantastic artists.
A few weeks ago School Council carried out some research to see which Non-fiction books children in Key Stage 2 would like to see in our school. We then ordered the most popular books and Year 5 enjoyed reading them before going to add them to our school library. All KS2 children are welcome to ...choose a book from the library to read in school 📚📖
