The Daniel Appleby Friendship Award

The parents of Daniel Appleby, who sadly passed away last year, have dedicated an award to Priory in his memory.  Each year, the Friendship award will be presented to the pupil who has shown to be the best ambassador for friendship, kindness and support either in school, during extra curricular activities or on a trip.  They will also receive a £25 gift voucher from the family.  

At a presentation evening last night following the Belgium trip the trophy was awarded to Year 11 pupil, B Rooke.  A poignant award as older siblings of the Rooke family attended Priory alongside Daniel.

Daniel died last year following a brain haemorrhage linked with diabetes, which he had since he was 11 years old. His family held an It’s a Knockout Roadshow at school in the summer with all money raised going towards Preston and Chorley Junior Diabetic Support Group.
