Year 7 left in safe hands with Mrs Ham

Mrs Ham has taken over as Head of Year 7 from Mrs Farley this week - and the pair have followed similar paths at Priory.

Both were pupils at the school in the same year group, from 1996-2001, and both remember ‘Mr Watters’ Tenerife trip!’  They both went onto study at Runshaw College before Mrs Farley joined Priory as a teacher around six years ago and Humanities teacher Mrs Ham, who specialises in RE, joined four years.

Mrs Farley is now on maternity leave and Mrs Ham is relishing her interim role as Head of Year 7.

“I was Head of Douglas so I have had the responsibility before and I am really looking forward to it. I teach a lot of the Year 7s already so I know them all.”

As Head of Year 7, Mrs Ham will make sure the new pupils settle into Priory well and help with their transition from primary school to secondary school. She will be a consistent first point of contact for pupils in that year group.

Mrs Farley has passed on all current information to Mrs Ham whom will continue to follow up on any enquiries that have been passed her way. 

Mrs Farley has thoroughly enjoyed getting to know our youngest pupils so far and hopes that they all feel settled and part of the Priory family. She would like to wish all her Year 7 pupils the best with the remainder of their first year and looks forward to seeing them flourishing as Year 8s upon her return.

Mrs Ham will be contactable via email at k.ham@priory.lancs.sch.uk.
