Ramsgate, Kent, South East · CT11 9PG
With just 15 pupils on roll, The Old Priory School is among the smallest independent schools a family in Ramsgate might consider. Its size places it firmly in the micro-school category, where teaching can be highly personal and every child is well known to staff.

Inspection is carried out by the ISI, the body that oversees many independent schools.
