Priory Park Community School is an alternative provision independent school in the Wren’s Nest area of Dudley to provide support for young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties or who are at significant risk of permanent exclusion from mainstream school.
The community focused school is unique to the borough, offering a broad and balanced core curriculum but also focusing on mentoring through sporting activities. This is delivered through a strong partnership with Priory Park Boxing Club and outdoor education, making use of the Wren’s Nest Nature Reserve, a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest and one of the most important geological locations in Britain. Wren’s Nest is also a Local Nature Reserve, a National Nature Reserve (NNR) and Scheduled Ancient Monument, so lends itself perfectly to cross curricular learning. The school offers a warm, welcoming environment and encourage high parental engagement.

Referral Notes:
The iCan Programme provides a complete intervention for young people at risk of offending or those at risk of school exclusion. Young people can access the iCan programme by being referred to by their school, by Dudley MBC’s Inclusion Panel, Dudley Youth Offending Team or the West Midlands Violence Reduction Unit (WMVRU).
In most cases the programme will last for a minimum of 12 weeks (one school term) but could be extended for young people requiring further intervention. Young people can start the programme at any point during the school year. The programme is full time during the day as education will be provided by Priory Park Community School, with opportunities for additional hours at the boxing club for young people who wish to continue. If needed an Education Health and Care Plan can be completed for a young person on the programme by our qualified Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinators which has the capacity to support the young person till the age of 25.
The programme consists of the following elements:
- Delivery and completion of The West Midlands Violence Reduction Unit’s Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) programme. This will be fully embedded into the curriculum delivered at Priory Park Community School
- Delivery and completion of the Police Clubs Olympic Boxing Contender AM-Box programme at Priory Park Amateur Boxing Club
- Therapeutic interventions and mentoring by qualified staff at both settings
- The continuation of key stage 3 and 4 curriculum and qualifications throughout the programme
