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.

The smallest of all seeds becomes the biggest of the garden plants.

The children in Class 6 and the Den had a creative art session yesterday. The children had to do observational paintings, looking closely at the flowers, shadings and textures. They also had to mix the water colours to make the right shade for their masterpieces. 💐🥀🎨

The children in Class 3 have been learning all about Islam as part of our RE unit, how Muslims show they belong.
We are so impressed with how much they have learnt about the 5 pillars and also the Islamic inspired Art they have produced. Well done! 🕌☪️

Class 5 have been really enjoying their Art and Music lessons so far this term. In Music we have been listening to South African Music and learning to play the glockenspiel and in Art we have been exploring the book 'Voices in the Park', drawing our own parks and making some rubbing of ...the different surfaces around our school.

This morning Class 3 had an exciting opportunity taking part in a pirate festival! They participated in a range of games and activities, working as a team to try and win the treasure! After a full morning of PE we are sure they will be very tired tonight! ☠️🏴‍☠️

The children in class 6 have been enjoying their Art topic, 'Voices in the Park'. The children went around school to find different, interesting surfaces and make some rubbings of them. They then had to draw a tree using the textures and rubbings they had made. As you can see they are ...very proud of their creative art work. Well done!

Year 6 have been learning about the Cottingley Fairies as part of their Art unit. They created their own fairies and then posed with them to recreate the photos from 1917. 🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♂️

We have had a fantastic afternoon launching our new History topic, Castles! The children looked fantastic in their costumes and have spent the afternoon designing their own coat of arms and crowns. 🫅👸🏰👑

Year 1 has started their new PE unit, games. They worked well as a team to try and win points and then used their Maths skills to add up their scores. Well done Year 1.
