About Us

Priors Wood Primary was built in 1968. It is situated in a pleasing location in a quiet residential neighbourhood, on the north-east side of Ware and overlooks attractive countryside. The single storey, well maintained buildings are surrounded by playing fields and grassed areas with trees and shrub beds. There is a variety of outdoor play equipment for the children, and two wooden pergolas provide shelter both for children and adults waiting to collect them at the end of the day.

Both Nursery and Reception classes have safe outdoor areas. The whole school site is surrounded by secure fencing.

The school grounds have been designated for the study of wildlife and the environment. As a school we are committed to outdoor educational provision to enhance the children's learning whenever possible.
