The First Word

Welcome back! This is the first update to the Priory Website of 2010. The snow has gone from the UK - for now - well at least where I live, so my spirits are lifted, not least by this month's update. Prioryites now seem to get together on a regular basis as evidenced by the three reunions featured in this month's update.

What is also impressive is how some colleagues seem to go on showing talents that they have been nurturing over the years. Who would have said that Tony Tame, a self admitted non-student, would write so much and so much that is interesting and often hilarious? Who would have seen Charles Carroll becoming a media idol in Turkey? I wonder if Henry Fowler would take any credit for all this if he was alive today!

Well I'd like to thank you all for visiting, contributing, telling others and for your messages of appreciation and support - all of which make the task of running this and the Yearbook website a real pleasure. I hope you'll keep coming back in 2010 and above all that you'll keep sending your news, photographs old and new but above all staying in contact with me and each other. That is what the Priory spirit is all about.

Have a great month!

 

 

Thanks for visiting the Priory Website!

Stephen

James Trench as he Really is!

James Trench - Priory days 1972

 

My picture of James in his Carnival costume in the last update didn't impress him...well not very much anyway! He asked me top show him in his pride and joy this month...not a bad restoration is it!

Hello from Israel Crooks

I just found your website through Google. 

I taught CXC Chemistry to Grades 7,8,10 and 11 at Priory High School and P.A.C.E. from 1997-2000. 

I was also the Head of the Mathematics, Science and Computer Department from   1998-2000. 

I was the founder of the school's Chess Club at the time, the Head of Fowler House and a member of the School's disciplinary committee. 

I would love to be reconnected with anything to do with keeping PHS alive!

And another Priory Reunion

Wendy Sasso, Lindsay, Stephen Smith

That global traveller Wendy Sasso popped up in two reunions at the end of last year, to add to her earlier meet up with Monika Neumarker. This time she was visiting daughter Lindsay, who lives in London, so I sneaked out from work one lunchtime to meet them for lunch under the sound of Bow Bells.

Charles Carroll 1971

Charles Carroll today

At Priory in the early 70s if I had predicted a career outcome for Charles Carroll it would not have made him a media star - maybe a professional athlete..

His brother Dan has made a great compilation of some of Charles' TV and film appearances and these are now available to see via the Priory Website by clicking the link below.

About the Priory Website

 

Welcome to the Priory Website, launched 6th July 2004. The site is a place where past students, teachers, parents and friends can re-visit those great memories of a wonderful institution founded by the late Henry Fowler.

The website is run on a strictly voluntary basis, not for profit and relies on the contributions of past students of photographs, interviews and reminisces. The webmaster is Stephen Smith who attended Priory from 1966 to 1972 and now lives in the UK.

Generally the site is updated monthly around the last Sunday, and a newsletter is sent to almost 800 subscribers around the world (spam filters permitting!) notifying changes.

A sister site www.prioryyearbooks.com has been set up on a similar basis to host, as the name suggests, Yearbooks from Priory.
