THE PRIORY SCHOOL | DORKING | WINTER 2023
Dear Parents and CarersAs the end of our first term draws near, it is always a good time to reflect on our achievements since September. This edition of the Priory Press really does highlight all the excellent work of our community who work together, providing so many opportunities for everyone to participate in. It has been a real joy to get to know more about each of our Year 7 students during our hot chocolate meetings at tutor times. This is an invaluable experience that gives me the opportunity to meet each child, find out a little about them whilst helping them to understand I am here for them and give them the chance to tell me about their journey so far.Thank you to everyone who has supported the school throughout this term, whether it be from donating money, participating in the FOTPS events, volunteering as readers for our children or marshalling/walking for our Sponsored Walk. It really is a unique community where we support and work together for our students. Headteacher’s LetterOur cooking lessons with Mr Taylor for members of our community after school each Tuesday have also proven to be a great success.I have been busy over these past few weeks analysing the feedback we have gratefully received from those of you that have taken time to complete our enrichment and behaviour audits. Your responses are appreciated and I am now working to tweak areas to further improve the systems. I hope you enjoy reading this edition of the Priory Press as much as I have. I wish every one of you a safe and peaceful Christmas. We look forward to welcoming all our students back on the 2nd January 2024. Wishing you all a very peaceful Christmas and happy new year.Best wishesMrs TrimnellHeadteacher

Between 4 - 6th October the Year 7 Team took 113 students on their residential trip which was based at a PGL site in Swindon. The trip was an exciting way to experience their first trip in secondary school, to build relationships with each other and to get to know their new tutors and Head of Year in a different setting. Amongst other activities, the cohort were given the opportunity to try zip wire, rafting, archery, and adventure courses. It was a fantastic opportunity for all the students and was probably the longest time some of the students had spent away from home. As Head of Year 7, I was extremely proud of their efforts and the way they conducted themselves around the site and I feel they should be proud of themselves too. It was a great few days with the new cohort and all the students who attended displayed impressive skills in the activities they attempted. Not only did they show great skill but they also demonstrated real support for each other and encouragement; if peers were feeling reticent about taking part in any of the activities there was a lot of motivating from others to be brave enough to give it a go which was lovely to witness. Well done Year 7! Miss RoachYear 7 Adventures in Swindon PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 20234

Priory Music Trip to ItalyPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 20236In October Half term, 16 Music Priory Students went on a 5 day Music trip to Italy to perform at the Dorking twin town of Sinalunga. The trip started off with a day in Rome with a lovely sightseeing excursion to the ancient city. After that students travelled up by train to Sinalunga in Tuscany and gave a steel drum concert to the local Italians. The concert was a great success and we will be hosting some Italian students in Dorking soon!Mr Pohlman

Sponsored Walk 2023On Friday, 13th October, the Priory School headed out into the beautiful Surrey hills heading towards Leith Hill.PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202312Thank you to everyone who walked, marshalled or encouraged the students as they headed for Leith Hill. There was much enthusiasm despite the early rain. The doughnuts beyond Coldharbour raised the spirits of some (Thank you Friends of the Priory). More than £7500 was raised this year as a result so thank you to all who donated. Mr Ironmonger

Dunsfold is always like a home race to the Priory Racing Team. So first, we would like to thank everyone who came along to support us. We really appreciate all the mornings you have sacrificed. It made it even sweeter when we came second place after two brilliant races. Everything went to plan on a beautiful day and really is one of the highlights of the season. Castle Combe on the other hand, was a very different affair. We had everything working against us that day. There was so much rain that everybody was drenched by the end of race one! Raptor was also plagued with batteries that had been taken one race too far. It was our first race this season where we left without any trophies. We have learnt a lot from this race and are prepared to aim for the podium at the Goodwood final in October.The finals are always the best race of the season and these ones didn’t let us down. It wasn’t the usual event by any stretch of the imagination.We had different races such as qualifying, which only sets the grid for race 2 (aka: The Grand Final), and doesn’t contribute to the overall result. Everything went to plan in the morning as we secured 4th kit car in the qualifiers and were in high spirits heading into the afternoon. The final Greenpower race of 2023 was a bit later than usual because of the annual grid parade, with brilliant showings from all of the teams. The race itself also went pretty well; Raptor had a great start and both cars were in the top 15 kit cars throughout the race. With Raptor holding firm in a very nice 9th place out of about 91 cars and Hunter in 13th to finish. However, Raptor was running on brand new batteries so our performance was slightly hindered. The entire day was incredible though and we thank all of our fans for their support and time. The Greenpower Team have been racing in the national Greenpower competition, read on to hear about the busy autumn term events.Dunsfold and Castle Combe Goodwood FinalGreenpower: A year to be proud ofPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202314
The Priory Racing Team has had a fantastic time this season with 4 podiums out of 6 races we took part in. Before the final, Hunter was in 19th place and Raptor was in 2nd place out of 153 cars, which is brilliant. The highlights of the year include our luck with the weather (for most of the time); our many altercations involving batteries; and of course, our fantastic victory at Ford Dunton back in early July. We’ve ended 2023 with one 3rd place trophy, two 2nd places, and one 1st place! We would like to thank all of our sponsors and supporters for coming along to see us and we hope to see you all again next year.SponsorsA huge thank you to the following companies for sponsoring the Priory Greenpower Racing Team:The 2023 SeasonS 21 CWCS H B M TF B C P RJ C E SMrs BrundishPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202315
Year 8 Exploring DenbiesPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202316On the 18th and 19th of October, we all came into school really excited for the Denbies trip. We were going on the trip to find out information for our projects on Denbies wine estate. We walked from school to Denbies vineyard and on our way we admired all the beautiful views in Dorking. Walking through the vines, we could see all of the ripe grapes that were about to be harvested to begin the wine making process which includes pressing, fermentation and racking. On our walk, we saw Denbies’ restaurant and hotel which help Denbies diversify and generate as much income as possibleFirst of all, we split into two groups, one group watched a short film on Denbies throughout the year which gave us lots of interesting information for our Denbies project. For example, we learnt about the extra activities Denbies do throughout the year and information on the history and owners of Denbies. Meanwhile, the other group went down into the wine cellar and did a quiz on Denbies which told us when the first vine was planted, what pests attack the crop, how they stop it and much more. We then switched and did the other activity.After we had finished that, we stopped at the food hut where we bought some food to eat and visited the gift shop. We then walked past all the vines and did another fun quiz on what we had just learnt. When we got to Ranmore common, we ate our lunch on the hill and had an opportunity to buy a snack from the food truck like an ice cream or milkshake. Finally, we walked back to school after a fun day full of activities.Emily Colwell, Y8Photography by Oscar Howard, Y8

Around 100 people plus an incredible array of performers gathered for our carol service at St Paul's Church on the evening of 7th December. The congregational carols, Bible readings and our Year 7 singers singing 'Silent Night' reminded us of the profoundness of the Christmas story - a story of amazing love. Our talented students brought their amazing gifts, with Elena Scanlon joining our Year 11 dancers to perform the song 'Mary did you know' which moved many to tears and led to a second rendition at the end of the service. Jemimah Taylor brought us joy when she playedthe piano and sang the song 'Noel', while our steel drummers delighted us as they brought musical accompaniment throughout the evening. This year’s Carol service was an important marker post in our school year - a time to celebrate, worship Jesus, use our gifts and grow in our understanding of how we might celebrate Christmas in a more meaningful way.

Post16 college opportunities for Priory studentsPost16 college links prove a great opportunity for Priory students.Since our last newsletter, students at The Priory have continued to benefit from the partnerships we are developing with our Post16 providers. Some of our highest performing Year 8 students attended a session at Reigate College looking at future applications to Medical, Veterinary and Dentistry (MVD) courses. The students were able to discover the wide range of reasons for working towards these prestigious careers and what they could be doing now to help them progress. Similarly, Year 11 students were invited to investigate the possibility of applying to Oxford and Cambridge in the future. With previous Priory students having graduated from Oxford and Cambridge, this was an ideal opportunity for current Year 11s to start thinking and working towards their own Oxbridge journey. Next term it will be the turn of some of our Year 10 students to visit Reigate for a 5 week course on MVD applications ahead of their Year 10 mock exams.Alongside these activities, we are continuing to build ever stronger partnerships with the two colleges, ensuring the link between Priory and the next steps in education are thoroughly supported. In the New Year, Year 9 students will be visited by representatives from both Reigate and East Surrey College to explain the different courses and options they offer. This will help them when making their GCSE choices later in the Spring. Many of our Year 11 students have made their Post16 college applications with over half our students applying to one or both of our partner colleges. A wide range of A Level and level three BTEC courses are proving popular at Reigate and Electrical Installation, Brickwork and hair and make-up courses have been chosen by many students at East Surrey. In addition, Plumpton, Merrist Wood, NESCOT and Collier’s college are also proving to be attractive destinations for our students. We are also proud to see that some students are investigating the apprenticeship route with colleges and local businesses with one student already securing their apprentice offer. Year 11 students are now attending Post16 interviews at their chosen colleges and Year 11 tutors and the Head of Year continue to work closely with all students to support them in whichever path they take.Mr HarrisonPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202319
Top of the BenchThe students completed some questions and then a practical activity which stretched their scientific knowledge. It was a great opportunity and experience to push themselves beyond the usual curriculum.Thank you to Reigate Grammar School for hosting the event and providing refreshments.Mr IronmongerPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202320Students compete in the Science Challenge at Reigate Grammar SchoolA team of 4 students (two from Year 9, one from Year 10 and one from Year 11) headed to Reigate Grammar School to take part in the Top of the Bench event organised by The Royal Society of Chemistry.
Students in Year 9 were invited to watch a performance with 3 actors showing them the diverse range of careers opportunities in the NHS, the largest employer in the UK.The performance aimed to inform students in Year 9 of the diversity of opportunities available to them in the NHS and explore the fascinating world of healthcare. It was a fun and engaging presentation.The main goal of the afternoon was to inform and inspire students to:• Recognise that health & social care is more diverse than they knew• Appreciate the variety of roles, not just for highly qualified specialists• Understand that a career within health & social care is fulfilling and rewarding• Discover that working in health & social care is exciting, with a great social aspect• Know that the Careers Advisers and Tutors can help, support and adviseMr HarringtonYear 9 NHS Careers EventPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202321
During the last week of November over 150 students participated in an immersive reective experience in our rst prayer spaces of the academic year. Prayer spaces is a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a time of reflection and prayer. The chapel is decorated with ambient lighting and filled with sensory activities that enable students to slow down, reflect on themselves, on the world around them and to speak to God about these things. Over 150 students took part in the November prayer space and there were some incredible times of reflection which enabled students to grow in character and in their Christian spirituality. The focus of the prayer space was finding peace and that included finding peace within themselves, from God and then exploring what it might mean to be a peacemaker in the world. To quote one student "I was feeling emotional (in a good way!) because I felt like I heard God speaking to me about how I can grow as a person - it was amazing". We'll be back later in the academic year with another prayer space.Rev’d StevensA Time of Immersive ReectionPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202322
The 5th December was the last session of our six week Adult cooking course with Mr Taylor. I decided to join the class as I hadn’t made many of the recipes he was suggesting from scratch. I realise now how limited my knowledge was and found it so enjoyable learning new skills, such as making a bouquet garnet for soup, de boning a whole chicken correctly, pasta, bread and pastry. Along with the demonstration, Mr Taylor passes on lots of little tips on why foods react in certain ways, how to improve flavour and preparation techniques. He spent time helping people individually and each week I left with delicious food. I’d always been scared to use a large sharp knife but I have requested one for Christmas, along with a Pasta machine. The next course is for budget friendly meals, typically using food found in Food banks. This 5 week course starts in January and is on offer to the local community, so if you know someone who may benefit from this, get in touch.Mrs WeedenCulinary Adventures: Our Adult Cooking Course with Mr TaylorWe are pleased to announce that Nancy Szachno-Dressel has been elected as our new Parent Governor.

Congratulations Matthew for receiving the Priory Gold CanonPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202324We’re thrilled to announce that Matthew, Year 9, has become the first student to achieve the Priory Gold Canon. A literary canon is a set of books which is viewed as ‘the best’ literature. The Priory literary canon is not just made up of ‘classics’; it is a range of books that are interesting, challenging and aim to promote inclusivity and diversity. This is a fantastic accomplishment that showcases Matthew’s love for reading. Well done, Matthew, keep up the excellent work! Check out the list of books he read:• Great Expectations by Charles Dickens• To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee• The Owl Service by Alan Garner• The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman• The Tiffin by Mahtab Narsimhan• Watcher in the Shadows by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Duke of Edinburgh's AwardPRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202326Our Year 11 students had a very successful practice expedition in the Peak District in June 2023. They stayed at 3 different campsites; Glenbrook near Hope, Park House near Monsel Head and finally Rowler farm near Castleton. The walk between each was rich and varied. They visited the plague village at Eyam, walked the Monsel trail and the Mam Tor ridge. The days were warm, not too hot with some rain on the final day. They were all in a good position to take on the assessed expedition in the autumn. The weeks prior to the assessed expedition had been wet. However, we were delighted to set off from Great Bedwyn in the dry. We had three groups (18 students) and had been joined by Cyrus and Robin, who are our volunteer assessors. All were in excellent spirits. The area for this expedition was new to the Priory School. Previously we had used the New Forest, so we were really looking closely at how the students got on, whilst remotely supervising. Day one was a straightforward walk to Wilton Windmill, across the Savernake Forest to Postern Hill Campsite. Some students had to cope with a closed footpath, but all arrived safely at the campsite, ate a hearty supper and went to bed fairly Silver assessed expeditionMarlborough Downs/Vale of Pewsey 24 September 2023
PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 2023 PRIORY PRESS | WINTER 202327early. Day two proved challenging, with 2 out of 3 teams having a medical issue. In both cases, groups followed the emergency procedures correctly. Their teamwork and support of their injured teammate was to be commended. It was a tough day for many. In the evening, we had a fire in a fire pit at the campsite, drank hot drinks, reflected and chatted about the day. It was good to talk, relax and nearly everyone got a good nights sleep. Day three and the final day got off to a great start, the end was in sight! Groups made good progress towards West Kennet Long Barrow by lunchtime. Heading north, they passed Silbury Hill and onto the finish at Avebury rings. They were impressed by the stone circle and enjoyed the National Trust shop, that sold fudge and biscuits. All the students who got to Avebury Rings and were able to complete all 3 days, passed their expedition. Our assessors were delighted and full of praise for the way students had conducted themselves. Over the years, the training and support from the volunteer DofE staff had prepared them well. Special thanks to Ms Taylor who supervised both expeditions and was key to developing the Marlborough area routes. To Mark and Emma who supervised the practice expedition and Roger and Cyrus on the assessed expedition. Thank you all! After the expedition, students needed to give a presentation about their expedition aim. This happened in October. Feedback from the groups was so positive, despite the challenges they encountered. Many want to continue on to Gold and we are happy to give students ideas of ways to achieve this. Students who were not able to complete their silver expedition are being helped to finish their award. We hope they will continue onto Gold too. Ms Tanton
