We have recently discovered some of these beautifully scribed logs in our archives and our resident historian, History teacher Mr Eccles, has revelled in them to find 'picks' which we will find amusing to read today. How things have changed! #### Wednesday, 28th January 1953: *There was a meeting in my room about school uniform. It was decided to choose Royal Blue and Yellow as school colours and the uniform to consist of a blue cap, blazer, grey suit or dress. When all items of uniform were settled a letter should be sent to parents asking for their co-operation in providing uniform for the children.* [Alumni](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/alumni) [ Priory's next production is Game Over](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2022-01-27-priory-s-next-production-is-game-over) [Freya and Phoebe: I love Maths because... ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2022-01-31-freya-and-phoebe-i-love-maths-because) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/vacancies) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/priorystc) - [X](https://twitter.com/@priorystc) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/penworthampriory/) Penwortham Priory Academy Trust is operating as a single academy trust.
