Priory Primary School

Priory Primary School

Priory Primary School is a primary school located on the Priory Estate in Dudley, West Midlands, England. It includes a nursery unit, and is open to pupils aged from 3 to 11 years.

It was opened in 1932 to serve the surrounding Priory Estate, which was in the early stages of development at this time. A nursery unit was opened in 1938, the first of its kind in the Dudley area, with most local schools not following suit until the 1970s and some still lacking such facilities to this day.

The nursery unit was replaced in the early 1990s and the old building demolished to make way for a development of new private starter homes.

Notable alumni

The school is most famous for being the former school of the late Duncan Edwards, the former Manchester United and England footballer. He attended the school from 1941 to 1948, and died aged 21 as a result of the Munich air disaster in 1958.
