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. Should you wish for more detail, or would like paper copies of any information, please do not hesitate to contact us we will be happy to help. If you are a prospective parent or carer, please get in touch to arrange a visit and myself or a member of the Leadership Team would be more than happy to show you around and answer any questions.
Thank you for visiting our site!

Thank you so much for the incredible donations for the foodbank. We raised an incredible £368.05. School Council used a list provided by the foodbank and we had a fun meeting deciding which items and how much to purchase. Thank you to Mrs Cartman who sorted the online order for us. You can see ...from the photos, how much we were able to buy (we couldn't put all the items out as there was too many things)! The foodbank have weighed the items and it was 212.10kg and they have done a quick look online and this is the equivalent weight of a female mountain gorilla!
🔥 History came to life in KS1 this week! 🔥
Our young historians have been diving into the dramatic tale of the Great Fire of London. On Tuesday, they discovered how the fire began — and we brought the lesson to life with a fiery experiment! Using wood and hay, we lit a small flame to ...show just how quickly a spark in a bakery could turn into a roaring blaze. The children were fascinated and loved every moment of seeing history in action! 🏙️🔥👨🚒
We are extremely proud of all our Year 6 children for all their hard work throughout the year. They have completed SATs this week and they have all done their best approaching the test with determination! We have had a lovely end to week with a visit from the ice cream van! 🍦🎉
Today marks the start of SATs week for our Year 6 children. Here is a little reminder before you head into school today 💕
The Big Prior’s Pedal!
On Thursday 22nd May, our staff will be doing a 24 hour Bikeathon to raise money for school playground equipment. Our plan is to cycle the equivalent distance from John O’Groats to Land’s End, a massive 603 miles!
The Bikeathon will begin at 9:00am on... the Thursday until 9:00am Friday 23rd May. We will be posting regular updates during the day and well into the night on our progress.
603 miles is a very long way! This is where we need your help. Over the next two weeks, 9.05.25 to 23.04.25, we would like you to get out and cycle, scooter, run or walk as much as you can! Every child will receive a tracking sheet to fill in and bring back to school so that we can add all of the miles completed together at the end.
We would love it if as many of you could get involved as possible! Of course we are doing this to raise money for school playground equipment. If you or anyone you know would like to donate please do so on the School Gateway app.
Thank you for your support. Let’s complete this together!
Yesterday Y1 had a visit from Animal Encounters. This was to support our learning in our Science unit Animal Kingdom. The children enjoyed meeting all of the animals, including a tenrec and a skunk, as well as learning lots of fascinating facts about them.

To launch our new Geography unit, The Americas, Class 12 sampled foods from different countries within North and South America. They were all very adventurous and willing to try all the foods.
A special thank you to Mrs Wilson's mum for baking the Jamaican spiced bun which the ...children loved! 😋
