Pupil hit in head by scissors
2:22pm Monday 21st January 2008
Comments (274) Have your say »
A 13-YEAR-OLD girl had a pair of scissors "stuck in the back of her head" after an incident at a school in Orpington this morning.
Police were called to Priory School in Tintagel Road at 10.50am after the incident during an humanities lesson.
A sixth-form girl, 17, said: "A boy and girl were having an argument, the girl threw a paper ball at the boy and the boy threw scissors back and they stuck in the back of her head."
A 17-year-old boy, another sixth-former at the school, added: "One of the teachers said 'Are you alright?' and she couldn't speak.
"She got in the ambulance and there were scissors in the back of her head and you could only see the handle."
The girl was taken to the Princess Royal University Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. She has since been released.
- A 13-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the incident.

Is anyone suprised? We're talking about The Priory here, smack bang in the middle of the Ramsden Estate. It's lucky that it was only scissors that were thrown.

Best wishes again to the families involved.

This is not the fault of the school. The Priory may have had a bad reputation in the past, but it is in fact an excellent school, and getting better by the day. This incident was something stupid that went too far, it could happen in any school, it is just unfortunate that it happened in a school that has been frowned upon previously. The school is very good, and people shouldn't insult it unless they actually know what they are talking about.

Secondly, I am an ex head boy of the school and can only praise the staff for their hard work and efforts. The Priory has had it's bad times like every school but believe me, every member of staff there is committed and dedicated to ensure those students get the best. Keep up the hard work!

Secondly, what a shame some parents are so blinkered! I have 3 children at the school, if fact, I turned down a place at Chis and Sid for one of them, and have nothing but praise for it. Every school, and I mean every school, has problems with bullying, behaviour etc., but the Staff at the Priory are dedicated to the children and their well being. Deliver a excellent standard of education, with exam results rising yearly. Let's not let this drag the school down. Every child that goes there should hold their head up high and be proud of the fact.
Keep it up Priory.

I have attended the school for 6 years now and although it has it\\\'s bad points, if you want to do well and succeed in the Priory you can. The school has had to suffer it\\\'s bad reputation for a long time, but it isn\\\'t deserved at all as even in the 6 years I\\\'ve been attending they have turned it around dramatically.

A minority ruin the reputation of the school. I also don't see the need to have a go at the parents of students at the school, especially as how it's very hard for a student to actaully get into a secondary school at current, and by sending there children to a local school, i fail to see how they have done wrong. I also feel that there is no need to "slag off" Johns comment with a spiteful and irrelevant point, theres purely no need to stoop to that level, you should be embarassed of yourself mate.

How dare you make these claims towards a school you have had no dealings with, or even if you have, by a small minority that for the most part, do not fairly represent our school as a whole?
Whilst I admit that students will acknowledge that our school does not have the best reputation, perhaps because it is mixed, comprehensive with mixed ability, I think our student body also notes that the efforts put in by the students, staff and parents, and how when it comes down to it, despite some differences, I think the Priory experience is one of jovial tales, not a tale of a an oppressed student, bound by the grades he or she gets, but by the content of his or her character.
Who are you to make comments about the grammar, ability and crime in our school? Im afraid to tell you but YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG.

For what it is worth I attended the school, many years ago and did pretty well for myself and Im now able to support myself and my family in the area I was brought up in a 4 bedroom detached house. I had no reservations what so ever in sending my own daughter there, who happens to be doing very well for herself. I do not need to be told about how high I should set my standards and Im sure that goes for the other parents at the school. Please also remember that not everyone is lucky enough to make a choice, although I was and still choose the Priory for my daughter.
Where were the negative posters when the school obtained its best GCSEs results for years in 2007. Nowhere I guess, for 2 reasons
1) It does not fit into their agenda
2) they would not have been aware as positive news will never get as much press as negative..

Unquote.
Response? Yawn!
Having worked in the press earlier in my life (and actually now working in education) I can tell you exactly why an individual school's exam results are not big news. It is because getting good exam results is what a school SHOULD be doing as a matter of course each and every year. However, a pupil getting wounded by a pair of scissors is something that should NOT happen, therefore is news.

Next people will be saying that the Priory was at fault for supplying scissors!!! How pathetic!
Each and every child has the right to an education, and despite any illnesses, disabilities, mental health problems or whatever... they were both entitled to an education.
As mentioned in a previous post my sympathy goes out to both families, however, until the whole facts are bought to light - no one has the right to judge or condemn those involved....
I have had three children at the Priory with two more to get through Secondary education, and - Yes - I will be happily sending them to the Priory, and - Yes - I do have the choice of other schools in the Borough!
Having worked for the LBB in the behaviour servce I can assure you,in my opinion, that the other secondary schools are not so perfect.... perhaps they are just more secretive in what happens...but beleive me....the Priory is no worse...if not better than the majority of others...
Would the school have received the same negativity if the incident would have happened on the bus or on the way to school? No I think not.....
Wonder why the Priory didn't get the same acknowledgement when they exceeded all expectations in last years GCSE results?

I don't think very much of the geography lessons at this school. The Priory IS in the middle of the Ramsden Estate; any good quality OS map will tell you that. No you're not all bad, but there are certainly some little herbets in this area; for example those who frequent the shops located directly opposite the school. There is a reason why you have to ring a bell to get in the off license.

I like the fact that this guy/woman can assume that everyone who goes to priory is an uneducated chav. Some of us try very hard and its the minority that lets us down. Which is the same in any school. The event just happened to be at our school.

This school keeps them off the streets during the mornings and afternoon which in turn allows senior citizens to pick up their pensions and shopping in peace.
All the important children, who will one day grow up to run the country, are given the cream of education in private schools.

I am surprised at the level of venom aimed at the Priory School over this incident. When I moved to the area I took people\'s advice not to send my child to the Priory instead sending her to Darrick Wood School where she was ruthlessly bullied and ended up leaving there. Her bully is still attending Darrick Wood with freedom to continue the reign of terror unchecked by the school. Since then I have heard nothing but good reports about the Priory School. I wish I had done more research myself and sent my child to the Priory. This is surely a one off incident between these children which hopefully everyone has learnt lessons from. Darrick Wood has a lot more problems than are reported - they just have a more protective board of Governers who are better at covering up perhaps.

Lets put this into perspective here-
ALL SCHOOLS need funding to be better at what they do
NOBODY DIED, so why has this topic got 150 comments??
True the Priory doesn't have the best reputation, so what? The pupils there are happy, so why isn't everyone else encouraging them to do well rather than the quite frankly pathetic replies from Erasmus Piggot or whatever the hell he wants to call himself these days. I think you'll find, Sir "Erase-me Pig fart" that quite a lot of Priory pupils go on to do really well in their careers.
This entire comments section has been barraged by complete rubbish and it should stop here, frankly, as this isn't discussing the matter at all. If you want to slate particular schools in the borough, make a forum to do it rather than do it on here. This isn't the time nor place, this here is for comments on the NEWS STORY.

I did not choose to send my daughter to the Priory, I had no choice, we live in a 'black hole' that is NOT in any catchment area. However my daughter is doing well and understands that it's what she puts in to the schooling that she receives to leave with a decent education. I have no complaints about the school. I would like to comment though that anybody who has a child with a mobile phone or internet access will know that in most cases their children are far from illiterate, it is abbreviated text spelling, my child does exactly the same.It's a 'teenage' thing. However, I know she can actually spell when it counts.

6:54pm Tue 22 Jan 08
My daughter has improved her grades in 'leaps and bounds' since she has been at this school and I am very impressed and glad that she now attends this school.
The school deal positively with any bullying / violence etc and it is not tolerated. I am not sure what happened in this incident, nor are most of you, as you were not there. Have you ever heard of the 'straw that broke the camel's back'? I do know that it will be dealt with appropriately.
You may have noticed, that even the 'best schools' who have high exam results still have issues regarding bullying and injuries to pupils, not just The Priory.
I'm sure you can remember back to your days when you were bullied, or had a friend that was!
We are looking at a matter where a child has been injured, and I am not sure why you are all insisting on correcting the pupils' English and grammar. This is not relevant.
The reason that many young people, not just those at The Priory, are appearing not to be able to spell is because of the consistent use of mobile telephones and computers. It is, unfortuately, a sign of the times, and perhaps an issue to be addressed by the government, over which the school has no say.
Keep up the good work, Mr Ware.

"Also pupils were asked to refrain from writing comments on this website."
I am very concerned by this comment about pupils being hushed. I find it shocking that a secondary school would try to suppress its pupils' freedom of speech and their right to express themselves after such a major incident. Also dictating to pupils what they can or cannot do in their own time is totally wrong.
I smells a rat here. I cannot help but think the corporate PR side of the school has taken over and they are doing what they can to brush this under the table and trying to avoid any negative publicity. Well I think we can safely say that has backfired. Thats what they deserve for trying to gag their students and keep them quiet.

Students from Priory should be disgusted with themselves, the entries have been terrible. Darrick Wood pupils have at least written correctly. There is no comparison. Darrick Woods results were 82% this year however it is in the middle of a middle class area unlike the priory. The Priory will always have lower results because of where it is situated. However results are not the whole story but from what has been written on here I would not want to send a child to the Priory.

My thoughts go out to both families involved in this incident, an incident that could happen in any school. Many negative comments relating to Monday's events, seem to be by people who have little or no facts, and are using this opportunity to merely put down this school and its students. The Head Teacher and his staff are not to blame for what happened, and they dealt with the care and support of the other students at school who will undoubtedly be shocked and upset by what happened. Lets read the newspapers and watch the news and we will see that the events of Monday are not isolated soley to The Priory School. Again thoughts and best wishes to the families of both children involved.
jojo, orpington says...

But i would like to add that i feel the majority of the blame should lay at the feet of the parents. Children learn the difference between right and wrong from the time that they are born.
By the time the reach secondary school it is to late for the teachers to change behaviour that these children and their parents consider normal.
The rest of the well behaved and intelligent children then have to pay the price for the other parents failings.

I did actually add a comment later on that of course this does not apply to all students of this school, which has obviously been drowned out. Unfortunately I think some of the other comments on here from pupils themselves speak volumes. Well done to the others for triumphing through adversity.

I did not choose to send my daughter to the Priory, I had no choice, we live in a 'black hole' that is NOT in any catchment area. However my daughter is doing well and understands that it's what she puts in to the schooling that she receives to leave with a decent education. I have no complaints about the school. I would like to comment though that anybody who has a child with a mobile phone or internet access will know that in most cases their children are far from illiterate, it is abbreviated text spelling, my child does exactly the same.It's a 'teenage' thing. However, I know she can actually spell when it counts.

The Priory may have its areas to work on, as do all schools- grammar, state or private, but it really should be commended for its achievements.
This is a truly awful incident and I trust The Priory will deal with the situation accordingly.

They never take into consideration just how far we have come, it's never things like our ever increasing attendance, grades & behavior that is talked about mearly the bad. I am not saying that my school is perfect but it does not deserve the publicitly that it is being given constantly!
Frankly we find your generalistic comments about the pupils that attend Darrick Wood School, and the \'high levels of bullying\' that apparantly occur,ludicrous. Stop trying to make the Priory look better by demoralising other schools in the local area. We have never experienced any of the alleged \'drug abuse\' or \'bullying\'. No school is perfect, but since when has this turned in to a battle of the schools?
Charlotte otherwise known as 'Whitey' was a lOvley girl and i couldn't believe it when i heard what happened after all the progress we've made, we slippep. Can i also just say that Bradley is NOT allowed near the school or Whitey and is currently on bail until the trial date.

And also do not make assumptions about the children in question, you have no idea if they are dysfunctional or not, and if they are it is no business of yours. Let the parents worry about their own children, they do not need people like you interferring with comments that is written on the News Shopper website, which they will probably never read.
And you say that we are all hanging around wasting time while the school could be shut down? Please Sir Pompous, take into context of what you are doing before you dictate others.
