Principal, Mr E Matyjaszek, said,

“We are absolutely delighted that in this first year since 2019 of externally assessed exams – a full and proper exam system – and with this year’s candidates having had to negotiate two years of lockdown and seriously interrupted education, we have seen Priory’s results equal if not better 2019 and earlier. 

“A signal achievement for both the students and for their Tutors who have supported them throughout the last three years.”
