Y12 A Level Maths and Computing groups are today visiting Bletchley Park, learning about the history of encryption and ciphers. Students even got a live demonstration of an authentic Enigma machine! #YourPrioryJourney
Did you get a place at TPS for next year? Maybe we'll see you at #CodeClub for Morse Code Python, Big Screen Tetris Championship, or Lego Robots! #YourPrioryJourney

Students have really relished the @bebrasuk challenge this week!
If your child is interested in having a go (and they haven't already done so!) please ask them to email Ms Clarke! #yourPrioryJourney

9LR were the first group to upload their final projects into our new Retro Arcade consoles! Year 9 have spent the summer term working on their projects, so it is great to see their hard work pay off! #YourPrioryJourney

Students had an assembly on @safeinternetday 2024 where they thought about how to make a positive change in society and in their own lives with technology.
