Priory Integrated College or more commonly known as Priory College or just Priory is a secondary school located in Holywood, County Down, Northern Ireland.

It is a co-educational integrated college taking in 11- to 18-year-old pupils from a wide area beyond Hollywood, including Millisle, Donaghadee, Bangor, Newtownards, Dundonald and East Belfast.[1]

The school offers a range of subjects including; Art and Design, Home Economics, English, French, Geography, History, Mathematics, Science, Technology and Design, Music, Learning for Life and Work, ICT and P.E. These subjects are compulsory to study at Key Stage 3 Level. At GCSE level the school offers further studies and its main education board of choice is CCEA, but also uses AQA and Edexcel in certain subjects.

Sixth Form

Priory Integrated College enrols pupils from many schools and of varying abilities in its sixth form centre to carry out their AS and A levels. The majority of students subsequently go on to degree courses at higher education institutions, including South Eastern Regional College, or universities within the UK for careers with further training.
