In “Small Beginnings FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK : TIM PETERS A Remarkable Education in a Small School Setting n “Small Beginnings - A Personal Memoir of The Priory School”, co-founder Frances Ballantyne stated that her goal in I1947 was to create a small school that could give children the special attention that the “behemoth of public education passes over”. Mrs. Ballantyne and her co-founder Alphonsine Howlett had what they called “a larger vision” for the education and person- al development children could achieve in school, however they felt only a small school could make this larger vision come true. In short, they had big dreams for a small school. “Small School, Big Dreams” was our theme this year, and as we close out The Priory’s 68th year, we are certain that our founders would be proud of the school’s ability to deliver a remarkable education in a small school setting. Looking forward to next year, the success of the 2014- 2015 Annual Campaign will bring the dream of a new science lab The collective dreams of many cannot come true without to life.
