In the full school assembly on Monday morning, Mr Eastham set out the key points as we go into the new term; The Priory Standard - The highest expectations of all, from all, so our pupils leave Priory with the skills and attitudes to help them succeed in life. Lessons are for Learning - Pupils must work hard and will be challenged to be the best that they can be. Mr Eastham spoke about the importance of this term for Year 9, choosing their Options, and Year 11, how we all must play a part in supporting them during their last months with us. Priory Plus - How our pupils can set themselves apart by getting involved with extra curricular activities to enhance their personal development. And finally, a reminder that phones must be off and out of sight. Mr Eastham also reminded pupils to think about making the right choices and taking the right steps to enable them to learn to succeed.
