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.

In Geography, Y6 have been exploring earthquakes as part of their topic on natural disasters. Today, they explored how earthquakes are measured and created their own mock earthquakes and seismographs. Great fun was had by all!
To launch our new reading book, Whatever Next, Year 1 have had a busy morning building their own rockets just like Baby Bear in the story! They worked really well as a group to design and then construct their rockets. Well done Year 1! 🚀
Year 5 had a lovely time in the rain, on Friday afternoon creating their biospheres. We cannot wait to see how they change over the next few weeks!
Dear Parents and Carers,
Thank you so much for joining us at our Open Morning! It was a pleasure to welcome you into our school and share the magic of our Early Years setting.
We hope you found the morning enjoyable and left feeling informed and excited about your child's future ...at Prior's Mill. Your support means so much to us, and we look forward to continuing this partnership as your child begins their journey with us.
If you weren’t able to attend any of our open days, don’t worry — you can still contact the office to arrange a personal tour.
Warm regards,
The Early Years Team
Class 3 have spent the last 2 weeks working on our class book, Beegu. The children have sequenced the story, designed their own aliens and independently wrote sentences. In our continuous provision they have also been extremely busy making missing posters, working on their fine motor skills and ...building spaceships/rockets for Beegu to get back home. Well done Year 1!
Yesterday, Key Stage 1 hosted their Harvest craft afternoon. A huge thank you to all the parents and grandparents who joined us.
This week, our Nursery children have been exploring the theme of Harvest Time! We launched the week with a special Harvest Worship, where the children proudly performed "Big Red Combine Harvester" and "Dingle Dangle Scarecrow" — it was a heartwarming start to our ...celebrations!
🎨 At home, families got creative with our Harvest Homework, and we’ve loved seeing all the wonderful photos of children enjoying vegetable printing — thank you for sharing these lovely moments!
👃👀✋ In class, we’ve been using our senses to explore a variety of vegetables, sparking curiosity and conversation about where our food comes from. The children have also been busy making thank you cards for farmers, showing appreciation for those who grow and care for the fruits and vegetables we enjoy.
Thank you to all our Nursery families for your continued support and enthusiasm — it’s been a fantastic start to our autumn learning journey! 🍂
