Welcome Mr Metcalfe - Priory's new Head of Humanities

Mr Metcalfe is relishing his role as the new Head of Humanities at Penwortham Priory Academy.

 

Mr Metcalfe, who specialises in Geography, joined Priory in January.  He spent five years at St Wilfrid’s in Blackburn and four years as Assistant Subject Leader at Thornleigh Salesian College in Bolton, where he also taught A-Level Geography at both their Sixth Forms.

 

“This is my first role as Head of Humanities and it was the next step up for me.  I am very excited about the journey ahead here at Priory,” said Mr Metcalfe.

 

“Apart from being the Assistant Subject Leader for Geography at Thornleigh, I played a key role in the Teaching & Learning Team as well as specialising in data management and tracking.

 

“In the Humanities Department we are aiming to set up a new rigorous system of monitoring and tracking across Geography, History and RE to identify key gaps in pupil knowledge so that we can target focussed areas to help our students achieve the best possible outcomes.

 

“It’s a challenge I am committed to and ready to lead on; running three departments, with the aim of raising achievement and attainment for all our students so that they can evolve here at Priory and leave us with a currency to move onto great things.”
