Lewes Priory School - Present Day

Present Day

At the beginning of the academic year September 2009, a new arrangement for the school day was put into practice consisting of five lesson periods, with half an hour of tutor time per day. The lunch times have been altered to create three lunch sittings. Which lunch a student may be sitting varies from day to day. Each lesson lasts 60 minutes. Break time is 15 minutes long and lunch is 30 minutes. Between these three there are gaps of 5 minutes to give students time to get around.

Priory alumni commonly progress to further education courses at the close by Sussex Downs College, or BHASVIC, Varndean and City Colleges in Brighton. The current Headteacher is Mr. Anthony Smith, who replaced outgoing headteacher Mr Martyn Ofield in September 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:

    The present hour is always wealthiest when it is poorer than the future ones, as that is the pleasantest site which affords the pleasantest prospects.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal—that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
