Having pupils who feel this way about their school means we can focus on having the highest expectations of all, from all, so that all pupils ‘Learn to Succeed’ and leave Priory equipped with the right skills and attitudes to help them succeed in life, contribute positively to society, and go on to further education, employment or training. Being the Principal of Priory reminds me of the reason I entered the teaching profession in the first place; to be a driver of change and to allow opportunities to help support all our young people realise their full potential. ***Mr M Eastham Principal*** [Read More](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/principals-welcome) ### Principal's Welcome [principals-welcome](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/principals-welcome) ### Curriculum [curriculum-at-priory](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/curriculum-at-priory) ### Facility Hire [facility-hire-at-priory](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) ### Newsletters [newsletters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) ### News [news](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news) ### Fundraising @ Priory [just-giving](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/fundraising-priory/just-giving) ## Latest News ![Image of Remembrance at Priory 2026](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x440c/gallery/remembrance-2026/4_processed-B6C3AB8C-58C0-490C-95C8-BCAF54380850_blur.jpeg) 8 November 2026 ### [Remembrance at Priory 2026](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-11-08-remembrance-at-priory-2026) In remembrance of those who lost their lives in conflict, our senior prefects attended Penwortham's Remembrance service. ![Image of Year 8 Visit Blackpool Zoo](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x440c/gallery/year-8-blackpool-zoo-trip-november-2026/IMG_3875.JPEG) 8 November 2026 ### [Year 8 Visit Blackpool Zoo](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-11-08-year-8-visit-blackpool-zoo) Pupils visited Blackpool Zoo as part of their Ecology unit in Science. ![Image of Priory Performs 'Into The Woods'](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x440c/gallery/priory-performs-into-the-woods-the-rehearsals/Rehearsal_Photo_1.png) 8 November 2026 ### [Priory Performs 'Into The Woods'](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-11-08-priory-performs-into-the-woods) We’re incredibly excited about December's production of Into the Woods.
