I want to go to Newman College and study History, Geography, Politics and Maths. I want to be a lawyer.” #### Fatima Head Girl Fatima was absolutely delighted with her results. “I failed my history mock examination but got an 8 so I am amazed!” She also got three Grade 7s among her results and will go to Newman College and do a BTEC in Sport and a Biology A-Level as she wants to be a physiotherapist. “I am so happy,” she added. #### Maya Maya was the top performer at Priory. She achieved three Grade 9s and four Grade 8s and a Level 2 Distinction Star in Engineering. “I was hoping for good grades but did not know if I would get them. I am especially pleased with some of my Grade 8s as I thought I may get a 6 or 7 in some. The Engineering qualification was something extra in case I want to do an apprenticeship in the future. “I want to go to Hutton Sixth Form and do Business and History and another subject, I haven’t yet decided.” ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/Penwortham_44006_Fatima_Hussain.jpg) ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/Penwortham_43895_Maya_Patel.jpg) [GCSE Results](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/gcse-results) [ Summer School 2023](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-08-22-summer-school-2023) [Mrs Elliott's cool reader's club - Sienna ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-09-07-mrs-elliott-s-cool-reader-s-club-sienna) ### 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.
