The Priory School is an independent private school in Edgbaston, Birmingham. Founded in 1933 by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, it moved to its present site in 1936. It is two miles from the city centre, on a beautiful site comprising 14 acres of wooded gardens and grounds. The school is very well equipped with up-to-date facilities.

From 2007, boys have been accepted into the senior school but taught separately in most core courses (eg languages and maths); boys and girls taught together for humanities (eg geography and history). The school aims to help dyslexic pupils, in particular, to achieve their full potential.

Drama and art are well supported by a large number of pupils and the school was recently awarded an Artsmark Silver award. There is a range of sports, games and extra-curricular activities. A variety of outdoor pursuits is encouraged. Although a Catholic foundation, the school welcomes pupils from all faiths.

The sixth form is being restructured and is due to reopen in 2011 offering the International Baccalaureate.
