Report by Ofsted is pleasing'

4:40pm Wednesday 11th April 2001

THE PRIORY school in Orpington has welcomed its latest Ofsted report as “pleasing”.

The school, in Tintagel Road, Orpington, was told it had continued to improve since its last inspection, and the majority of its pupils had a good attitude to learning.

Even if they have become a bit overused in the past 40 years, cliches have a golden core. For many bands, repeatedly playing their successful songs becomes a kind of purgatory ending in a refusal to even listen to their hit singles any more, let alone play them. But this five-piece never seem to tire of their best tracks, and their infectiously energetic live performance got their loyal middle-aged fans shaking the body parts they forgot they had.
