Activities Week arrangements - please see below
Welcome!
Priory is a leading school in East Sussex with Arts, Language and Science College status, rated "Outstanding" by OFSTED. We are an 11-16 mixed comprehensive school situated in the County Town of Lewes, with approximately 1150 students on roll. The school aims to reflect the uniqueness of Lewes, historically and socially. Given our strong association with the author of natural justice, Tom Paine, it is our vision to build upon the concepts of freedom, democracy and justice. You can see our awards here, read our full Vision and Mission Statement here, and see a summary of our last 5 years' examination results here.

Activities Week 2013
It’s Activities Week next week (20th – 24th May) for students in years 7, 8 and 9. Students will be taking part in a wide range of fun, enriching activities. Students should by now have paid for activities, but if payments are outstanding please make sure that they are in school by 3.15 on Tuesday 14th May. There are a limited number of spaces still available on some activities; students should check the big display board in Reception for details. Students will receive their personal timetables for the whole of Activities Week later this week, along with a copy of a guide containing important information for the week (available here). A copy of the medical form that parents of all students taking part in activities off the school site need to complete is available here.
Year 11 Exam Revision Timetable
Details of Year 11 revision sessions scheduled for May and June are now available : a full timetable including exams here and a summary timetable here.
Student Log Emails and SIMS Gateway
To make our admin more efficient and "green" we are now primarily using email to inform parents and carers when we log both achievement and behaviour. If you receive such an email you can optionally view further details on SIMS Gateway, which offers secure online access to your child's data.
- How do I get access to Gateway? Usernames were posted to all parents last year; to receive your password you will need to have signed and returned the enclosed Parental Access Request Form to the school office.
- How do I log on? Click on Parents and Carers in the External Access box on this page, then select the Gateway icon and enter your details.
- My password doesn't work! Passwords last for 60 days, so it may have expired. Please telephone the Information & Data Office on 01273 476231 x373 (For security reasons we cannot deal with password queries via email).
- Why can't I reset my password myself? We'd like this feature as much as you would! However, because Gateway is an East Sussex County Council site we are unable to implement it ourselves. We have asked ESCC to enable it as a matter of urgency and will advertise it here as soon as they do so.

Bugsy Splurge Results
We've counted the dough from the Bugsy Malone speakeasy and it comes to a very respectable £1,762.50! So a huge thank you to all who helped and especially to all of you who came along and splurged!
