We are delighted you have been offered a place to study with us in September 2026 and can’t wait to see you. The transition to Secondary school is an exciting time and we will be with you every step of the way. Here are some of the activities you can look forward to over the next few months:
At Priesthorpe, we are more than just a school; we are an inclusive community where we want every student to feel safe, happy, and successful. Our vision is built upon the "Ways of Being Co-op," which guide everything we do:
Succeed together: We believe we are stronger when we work as a team and support one another.
Be yourself, always: We celebrate what makes you unique and encourage you to bring your best self to our academy every day.
Do what matters most: We focus on the right things—your learning, your progress, and your wellbeing.
Show you care: We treat each other with compassion and respect, looking after our school and the wider community.
Our expectations are simple but vital: we ask all our students to be Ready, Respectful, and Safe. By following these principles, you will find a calm and secure environment where you can focus on your learning and truly thrive.
We understand that the transition from Year 6 to Year 7 can feel like a big leap. Please be assured that our dedicated transition team, led by Mrs Cronshaw (Key Stage 3 Leader), is already working hard to ensure you have a smooth and positive start in September.
We look forward to meeting you soon and seeing all that you will achieve as part of our special community.
Best wishes,
Louise Pratt
Principal, Co-op Academy Priesthorpe
