A warm & ambitious school, striving for ‘traditional excellence’ in everything we do

St John’s Priory is an independent day preparatory school for girls and boys aged 3 – 11, set in the heart of Banbury town.

Here at St John’s Priory School, we are committed to the education of the whole child in an holistic way; ensuring that dispositions for life-long learning are taught and that the school values are observed and developed in each child.

We believe that it is our duty to recognise the potential in every child; supporting them in achieving their best in every aspect of their lives with us, be it academically, socially, physically or emotionally.

HEAD’S WELCOME

The ability to speak with teachers outside of formal parent meetings is fabulous. The open door policy at school is tremendously valuable and something that most schools do not offer.

Curent Parent

There is a great range of subjects which are all taught excellently. This is possibly because they are lucky to have so many specialist teachers and a proper timetable ensuring that no subject is missed.

Curent Parent

It is a lovely school and has been a great move for both my children. The friendly, caring atmosphere has meant my children feel confident to try new things and the excellent teaching means that they have been encouraged to fulfil their potential, without feeling under pressure

Current Parent

I love the wide curriculum and feel that the foreign languages particularly will arm my children with the skills they need to thrive in a modern world. This school has the facilities and the enthusiasm of the larger schools coupled with the freedom to do what is best for each child. The best of both worlds.
