A selection of Year 7s talked about their first year at secondary school and how they found it. Finn, who went to Whitefield Primary School, said: “I have enjoyed my first year. I did well on a spelling test recently! I like sports the best. I play football and enjoy boxing.” Noah, who went to Broad Oak Primary School, said: “All the older pupils have been really nice and helped us settle in. I attend Chess Club and am a librarian.” Wren, who went to Middleforth CoE Primary School, said: “There are more lessons and you move around a lot more than primary school but there is nothing to be scared of coming to Priory.” Josh, who attended Little Hoole Primary School, said: “I did find it a bit hard at first as it’s not like primary school but I have settled in now. I play basketball.” Merdi, who went to Kingsfold Primary School, said: “My favourite subject is PE. The main difference is the technology lessons, I enjoy them.” ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/Priory_097_this_one_jumping(1).jpg) [Transition](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/transition) [Year 7](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-7) [Primaries](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/primaries) [Admissions](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/admissions) [ Year 7 & 8 pupils are leading the way](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-05-02-year-7-8-pupils-are-leading-the-way) [Mrs Elliott's cool reader's club - Phoebe ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-05-10-mrs-elliott-s-cool-reader-s-club-phoebe) ### 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.
