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.

Some children from Year 5 were given a fantastic opportunity to visit Northfield today and take part in their Primary STEM event. They took part in a rocket workshop and CSI investigation. The children had a wonderful time and staff commented on how excellent their behaviour was. A special well ...done to Isaac who won the rocket launch against several other Primary Schools.
Our new Librarians met for the second time yesterday and have some fantastic ideas for Reading in our School.
They would like to ask anyone who is willing to donate books from home that people no longer read, these can be fiction or non-fiction and in good condition.
They are keen to ...transform our Library and make it an exciting and welcoming place for the children to visit 
For Science Week in class 3, we learnt about William Kamkwamba from Malawi, who used scrap materials to make a windmill. The windmill produced electricity for his home and led to many more people making windmills for their homes. The children in class 3 made windmills and learnt how to make them ...propel.
As part of our Careers Week, years 3 and 4 were given the opportunity to chat to real life paramedics about their careers. They even got to explore inside the ambulance.
Last week as part of DT week the children in Year 5 researched, designed and have built a bird hide. They spent time deciding what shape and size their structure should be and built a prototype using straws before moving on to wood this morning.
They worked well to measure, saw and glue the ...wood together before selecting a suitable fabric. Well done
